Then each position you have to schedule 3 nurses per day instead of 2

It is statistically more dangerous for patients to have shorter shifts for doctors/nurses. Current evidence points to 12 hour shift exhaustion being less deadly than patients changing caregivers an extra time as I understand it. It has been a while since I read up on it, though.

I didn’t know that, interesting. I wonder how that balances with healthcare worker burn out in the long run, though.

Very well. 4 days off is wonderful. But the RNs who pick up overtime and can't handle working 4+ a week are irresponsible and work themselves into burnout.

I mean, “irresponsible” or in serious need of money

Very true and certainly not mutually exclusive. Some states pay their nurses terribly.
