So I’m thinking about signing a contract at a place that works 24h shifts. Now admittedly the hourly rate is lower than what I’m being offered in the city, but you usually get a few hours of sleep. Census is 13k with 12 hrs of APP coverage, docs average 1pph over a shift.
My question for you guys is what is a reasonable number of 24s to do in a month without getting burned out?
My urban offer is for 10x12s and this rural gig averages 6x24s.
Since the hourly rate is a bit lower I was thinking about trying to average more like 7-8x24s a month to set my finances straight. I’m concerned because this is 168-192 clinical hours a month.
Does the nature of these 24hr shifts make it easier to work more clinical hours?
