How many hours do registered nurses work?
It depends on what hospital it is and what area of the hospital they are working. They can work 8 hour shifts or a no limit shift. With population growth in the U.S. and Canada we are seeing nurses working very long hours and in Canada our government has gleefully cut-back on nursing care, so the nurses that are in the hospitals and clinics are run off their feet. I find this the most unintelligent way of dealing with health care, because tired doctors and nurses make mistakes!
