Cora’s Answer

Nurses hours depend primary on the type of facility that they work out. For instance, if they care for babies at a hospital, 12 hour shifts are the norm. Please note that this doesn't mean that there won't be times you are called on to work shifts over night or if you are supporting an emergency situation. What hours do you prefer to work? Have you also done some shadowing with nurses and asked for information interviews?

Dr. Frank’s Answer

Most NICU staff RNs work shifts that are 12 hours in duration, although some may work eight-hour shifts. They may be required to work days, evenings, nights, or a combination of all three. Regarding day time nurses Hours: Most nurses also work 12 hour shifts, but some still work some 8 hour shifts too. Most of the staff work three 12 hour shifts per week and write their own schedule with some guidelines that direct how much weekend time they must sign up for per schedule.
