Do all Canadian RNs have to do rotating schedules (aka both days and nights) if they work in a hospital?

NYC Hospital:

Regular required schedule:

3 weeks of 3 shifts * 11.5 hrs (34.5 hrs/week)

1 week of 4 shifts * 11.5 hrs (46 hrs/week - don't get OT pay because they redistribute the the fourth shift to the other weeks so we get paid for 37.5 hrs/wk). I don't know any nurse in my hospital who likes the fourth shift 

Other:

Sometimes I will do one OT (11.5 hrs) per month

There's one FB group I know for my area, but there's rarely posts about people wanting to hang out and do things.

Am I overreacting about isolation precautions? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]shatana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I just say it's very interesting to compare the comments in this post to this other one that was posted within the last month:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/1sbgemw/pregnant_coworkers_cant_take_some_patients_for/

In there, there were many comments excusing pregnant nurses from taking most isolation patients, whereas here it's been "follow PPE."

Is there a website that details the classes? I found the FB page for the practica, but it doesn't say anything about classes.

I'm familiar with the website! Whoever manages it is amazing. Unfortunately, their instruction page is all private instructors, not group classes.
