I just worked 11 of the last 14 days. I now have 4 off. Too many Charge nurses off on leave so I had to fill in. It will make a great check but I am completely wiped out. When I was still in Cali at my other hospital I worked 6 on and 8 off. I LOVED that schedule. It doesn't work so well here and our patient acuity is much higher so I am usually completely exhausted if I work 4 in a row. . .
If I had to work eleven days of twelve hours, I'd be dead tired. Especially with your level of responsibility. Like you said, the money will be good. But, the taxes will be high. At least it's near the end of the year, so you'll get some of it back. The six on eight off would be great. The day shift supervisors had worked something similar for about a year. eight on, six off. Are you happy in Nevada? Your post on reading your contract tells me your work conditions changed...
