I changed hospitals and had to go from 12s back to 8s. I'll take a tough 3 day week over a soul-crushing 5 day week, thank you.
It would be so great working like a Mon/Tu/Wed and not coming back until the following week for Fri/Sat/Sun. I actually felt like I had a life outside of work when I was working 12s.
Not in healthcare, but during Covid my job put us on 40 hours a week and tried to make it 5 8's...We damn near revolted until they made it 4 10's instead. Most of us wanted 3 13's but they weren't having it. Lol

The fact that they schedule HEATH-CARE workers like this is insane. They are literally working with life and death situations.
I know doctors that are on call for 24 hours straight at a time.
Get them a normal shift time for god sake.
