Question Answered step-by-step Many researchers are pointing to 12-hour shifts as a source of… Many researchers are pointing to 12-hour shifts as a source of nursing errors and are conducting studies to provide evidence supporting this position. If they are successful, there may be pressure to reduce nursing shifts to 8 or 10 hours and require a 4 or 5 day work week. Is the research being done valid?- Are 12-hour shifts are dangerous? Would nurses be influenced by the decision to become a nurse if they knew they would have to work 5 days a week instead of 3?  Is there another solution to this problem (other than reducing the length of shifts)? http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/may/18/wsu-nabs-1-million-grant-to-study-work-shifts-of-n/     Health Science Science Nursing Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
