??? Where are you getting that from? I have three friends who graduated from MSU's nursing school and they work as RNs at a hospital. Their schedules are much different than whatever you have been told. One of them told me that her schedule is something similar to this: Works 10 straight days for 8-10 hr shifts, then have 6 straight days off. Two of them went on a near week trip to Vegas and didn't have to take a single vacation day because they just got done working their 10 straight days and had nearly a week off
