Academy of Sleep Medicine. International classification of sleep disorders, 3rd ed. Darien, IL: American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2014. This website is intended for medical research where multiple articles are merged and conveys information about important topics. I also cited Gaines,
Kathleen and her blog “The Pros and Cons to Only Working 3 days a Week” she goes into depth about her personal experiences in the health care
field. Because I am currently in school to further my education, it is imperative that I look into the pros and cons of becoming a Registered Nurse.
One of the argumentative topics of discussion I looked into was the fact that nurses work 3 days a week but often times work 12 hour shifts or
longer. It so happens that 12-hour shifts turn into 13-14 hour shifts according to my research, which I deem unfair. The constant on-the-go mindset, the mental preparation for any scenario, the endless multi-tasking, and the lack of even a minute of personal time all take their toll.
Nancy J. Brent, MS, JD, RN. https://www.nurse.com/blog/2017/03/01/long-hours-shift-work-still-plagues-nurses/ Long hours, shift work still plagues nurses. I chose this website for information because Brent brings more than 30 years of experience to her role of legal information columnist regarding nursing. Her posts are designed for educational purposes only and are not to be taken as specific legal or other advice.
Donna Cardillo, MA, RN. https://www.americannursetoday.com/blog/are-12-hour-shifts-safe/
Are 12 Hour Shifts Safe. I choose this website as an accessory to my essay because Cardillo explains about the studies that have been done over the years to support her assertions and the concerns I have about becoming a nurse. She covers studies done by the University of Maryland that concludes that the odds of making patient errors increases three-fold when nurses work 12-hour vs. 8.5-hour shifts.
Geiger-Brown J, Trinkoff AM. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3608421/ Is it time to pull the plug on 12-hour shifts. This website is so informative because it acts as a Wikipedia of everchanging information regarding the nursing field.
