Oh and shifts are typically 12 hours so you tend to work 3 or 4 days in a row then get the remaining week off. This works out to be 35-40 hours per week.

Hi there, you could always work in a smaller hospital practice that caters for both? Therefore working day and night shifts to get a feel for the work before committing? My first nursing job was a mix which allowed you to still have a relatively normal life outside of work. Often the salary is similar to the average wage in your area possibly £1,500-2k more per year if you're lucky, because when working nights you get the rewards of time off rather than a big wage increase. This does mean you could locum on these days off for example if you did "7 nights on 7 days off".

Hi,

I'm also looking at possibly making the change also. Do you have any more information? Also does any one know whrther there is the possibility to assist at an emergency practice for a day or possibly longer?

Thanks
