answer:Hospital nurses generally work 7 am to 7 pm or vice versa, 3 days per week plus maybe 4 hours of being on call. Not necessarily on weekends, but sometimes. Generally, nurses have to request days off or on in advance and the schedule is put out a month or two in advance. For a junior nurse, they usually end up getting night shifts and holidays. Clinic nurses work regular clinic hours. 9–5 or whatever, 5 days a week. Home healthcare nurses probably work mostly days but I’m sure end up doing early evening work, too. Nursing is a really good field to get into right now, because there is a national shortage. The pay is good, but there is a potential for burnout due to having to work in understaffed situations. There are a lot of programs that will forgive or pay off your student loans for nursing school and you can pretty much live anywhere there’s a healthcare facility. If you want to climb the nurse leadership ladder and move into a more admin role, get your BS in Nursing. If you just want to work as a nurse, an associates will do you just fine.
