There are several benefits for nurses working 12 hour shifts:
Work-Life Balance: With a more condensed workweek, nurses have more full days off to spend with family or pursue personal interests. Continuity of Care: Fewer handoffs between nurses can lead to better patient outcomes and less information being lost during shift changes. Increased Pay: Overtime opportunities are more likely with longer shifts, and some institutions offer shift differentials for working nights or weekends. Flexibility: The schedule allows nurses to have extended time off, which can be beneficial for travel, further education, or recuperation.
