Long shifts!!!

Hey, Anyone do 12+ hour shifts and struggling? I get to about 5pm and actually feel delirious. It's stressing me out because because I want to carry on with my job. Management have said they can put me on shorter shift but it means I will be working monday-friday 😩 I'm currently nursing and doing 3 days a week Anyone else?

Yes! I had a 14 hour shift yesterday, 7:30-9 and by 6pm I was shattered! I thankfully got to leave at 8pm but was in agony with my back!

@Natalie oh bless you! It's so hard didn't it. I feel mentally and physically drained by the end of the shift and getting pounding headaches. Have they offered you shorter shifts

It really is! I understand the headaches too, I’ve been moved to a job that now is behind a computer screen and it’s awful! No not yet but I might have to enquire about it!

Yeah the constant on your feet and never getting my breaks 😢. I’ve had to drop to two shifts a week because the 3rd one I was exhausted. The 2 is more manageable but I really ache afterwards xx

I was doing 12+ hour shifts but like you found it far too tiring. I do not more than 10hrs if I do a long day. My usually is 9-5 now and I feel so much better for it. Coukd you do 4 x 9hour shifts ?
