DKilbourne Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Anyone else work 3rd? I have a newish job to me and I was able to get in by taking a 3rd shift weekend gig. 9pm-730am Thursday through Monday morning. The 1st couple of weeks on 3rd killed me, but it's not too bad now. Healthy shift differential too. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99BlownYellowGT Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 My dad did it for 40 years. On the rare occasion I have to do it at my job it makes my body shut down and i usually end up sick for about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russian rocket Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 i work a 2-2-3 fast rotation between nights and days 4:30am-4:30pm 4:30pm-4:30am its not too bad... not the most preferred schedule, but get every other weekend off and only work 14 days a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 10p-6a. No complaints. Especially since I get Friday and Saturday night off every week. All about routine. I'm home and asleep by 630am every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I worked it for 4 years and it sucked. Only way I could sleep is with a completely dark room. Would pick 3rd over 2nd any day though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 i work a 2-2-3 fast rotation between nights and days 4:30am-4:30pm 4:30pm-4:30am its not too bad... not the most preferred schedule, but get every other weekend off and only work 14 days a month can't imagine ever getting used to this. my sister does something similar and its difficult. she is an ER physician and will do 10-12 shifts a month, but has to alternate day and night shifts every so often. that's one of the reasons ER has such i high burnout rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
