[quote=Anonymous]I found it really hard to work 12 hour shifts as an RN because I hate the lifestyle of either "being on or off". When you're working 12 hours you have to leave the house around 6am to get their a little before 7. (all hospitals have parking garages and elevators which take forever to navigate). Then you don't get home until 8 or 8:30pm. Plus you're trapped on the unit that entire time. It's not like a desk job where you can get up, go down the hall, go run around the block, surf the internet. No, you're stuck on a small hospital floor for 13 hours. I know this isn't helpful but I think it's helpful for the general public to realize that the 12 hour nursing shift isn't all sunshine and roses. [/quote]
