Abstract

In many hospital settings, the 12-hour shift is the standard. While it may be better for continuity of patient care, many studies have looked at the effect it has on nurses as well as patient safety. This project identified themes in the literature and while it couldn’t see a precise path forward, flexible scheduling may be looming just over the horizon.
