So who here has a position where they work 3 straight 12 hr shifts or 4 10 hour shifts?

[place123]

What fields are of these positions found in?  I am guessing mostly in the emergency room?  Are there any other fields that have schedules like this?

 

Whats your work/life balance like?

my first job was m-t 9-7 urgent care. 3 day weekend every week with the option of working fridays at time and a 1/2 , which I did every other week. nice work/life balance having a 3 day weekend every week. I've also done the 3 in a row thing and that wasn't bad either. I am currently scheduled all over the map, but can take off any days I want either via schedule or trades.

I work 3 11s and every 3rd weekend (7 on Sat, 4 on Sun).  Urgent care is my gig.

I had this in surgery. you can get some OP clinic jobs with 4-10s.

sorry, what is OP clinic jobs??

 

I have heard that emergency care(in a hospital that is open 24/7) is one of the higher paying fields while primary care is one of the lower paying but has a lot of autonomy.  I always imagined urgent care as being somewhat in between the two disciplines.  Urgent care clinics where I live are clinics that you just walk right in and ask to be seen that same day ASAP.  They treat less serious things as an emergency room.

 

How does urgent care compare?

 

 

so many newb questions...

[EMEDPA]

depends on the urgent care. there is the full spectrum from minute clinics checking 10 things to places that basically operate as 24 hr free standing ERs.

I'm in bone marrow transplant- our outpatient team (day hospital) works 4 10's and our inpatient team works 3 12's, with a 4th 12 monthly and 12 hours of admin time monthly. We all rotate weekend coverage (in flux but will probably be about monthly-q 6 weeks).

 

OP=outpatient

I am in ER! I work 10s. I asked for a ton of shifts this month and next month, but my set schedule from February on will be four 10s.

I work 14 12 hour shifts per month, sometimes 3 12hr shifts in a row. This is in Urgent Care, I love my work/life balance - allows a lot of vacation. I also have 7 days each month I am "unavailable" without using any PTO.

Critical care, 13 12hr shifts every 4 weeks, there's some flexibility in scheduling your shifts. About half are nights, and every 3rd weekend. Work-life balance is OK. Days off are sometimes spent recovering from work, rather than enjoying life.
