While longer shifts are standard at many hospitals, not all nurses schedules involve 12-hour workdays.
When did nurses start working 12-hour shifts? The adoption of 12-hour shifts in nursing gained momentum in the late 20th century, driven by changing healthcare delivery models and staffing challenges.
Nursing hours are the total number of hours worked by all nurses on a single unit per day. The NHPPD figure is the average nursing hours required to care for each patient in a single unit. To calculate NHPPD, divide the average actual nursing hours performed by nurses per patient each day.
In some cases, nurses may encounter other shift patterns, such as 24-hour shifts (often seen in emergency services) or split shifts that break the day into two working periods. These shifts are less common but available in certain specialized areas of nursing.
12 hour shifts minimizes the amount of times a patient is handed over which should minimize errors. So for most 24 hour units (ICU, med/surg, step down, obs, etc) 12 hour shifts are preferred.

Nursing shifts are incredibly varied. They can range from four to 16 hours, including shifts of six, eight, 10, and 12 hours. Working fewer times a week might benefit some nurses, but others might need short shifts to accommodate their work schedules to their specific situations.
In the 1970s, a national nursing shortage left facilities looking for solutions to fill schedule gaps. Hospitals began using 12-hour nursing shifts as a way to decrease the number of staff needed per day. One nurse would work from 7 a.m. 7 p.m., and the next would work from 7 p.m. 7 a.m.
