I work what is called a DuPont 12 hr rotation. I flip back and forth days and nights, 7-7. It is a four week rotation. On the fifth week I am on call. Our area has lost most of the industry. I would have to drive 90 min each way to get another job that pays this well. I did research for them and in 2009 they cut development. If my kids were home I couldn't do it.
Most healthcare schedules allow you a holiday off. This one does ni t unless on your day off. And you cannot take vacation for a holiday or tbe weekend before. Since 2009 I have had two holiday weekend off.
