We do as Nicky VN does, but there's only 3 of us. Then we have a part timer who works on the days we have off, so there are always 3 VNs in. Well. That's how it supposed to work.

Ours is very basic. We just have 4 nurses in each day (we have 5 all together) with everyone getting a different day off each week. Try to do it so everyone gets their turn for a friday so they get a long weekend but swop other days around to fit in with peoples plans.

Thanks for your reply guys

We all do 8.30-7 4 days a week. Saves anyone having to work over on early finishes and always plenty off staff around all day. We love doing 4 day weeks

NIcky - Would it be possible to have a copy of your rota so we can see if something similar would be possible in our workplace?

Thanks

I work in a small practice and we do some 10-8 shifts (although if something came in, consults ran over we will stay even later).

We do 2 x 10-8pm a week, the rest of the week evens out so we get some shorter shifts.

I used to work at a vets where I would work 9am - 7.30pm.

It was shared with another nurse who would work 8am - 1pm. There was always 2 nurses during the morning plus an ANA and just one nurse in the evening. It was a quiet branch so this was acceptable.

In the main branch, staff would work the same shifts or 10-6pm.

The 5 hour shift would make up for the 10 1/2 hours the previous day.
