What kind of hours do nurses work?
Nurses have a lot of flexibility in their work schedules. Some nurses work days, some work evenings, and some work nights. A nurse s shift can be 8-12 hours. Some nurses work 36 hours in 3 days or 40 hours in 4 days, then have 3-4 days off. Others prefer to work part-time or only on weekends, which can be great for families with young children. Generally, though, nurses work 40 hours per week like other professionals.
