My March nurse schedule as a night shift RN

Everyone loves a nurse schedule so here is my March schedule as a full time night shift nurse 🫶🏼

Only used one day of PTO this month and get to go visit my family in Florida for a nice little get away. I usually dont schedule myself for 3’s in a row anymore because it takes such a toll on body, but sometimes the schedule just falls that way.

I use nurse grid to keep track of my schedule and it lets you add coworkers/ friends so you can compare your schedules and see what days you can hang out outside of work!

What’s your schedule look like as a full time nurse? Comment below ⬇️

2025/3/4 Edited to

As a night shift Registered Nurse (RN), managing your schedule can be quite challenging, especially in the high-paced environment of healthcare. March is a month that often brings discussions about work-life balance among those in the nursing profession. Many RNs prefer not to stack three consecutive night shifts due to the toll it takes on physical and mental health. Utilizing tools like nurse grid can greatly enhance your scheduling experience, allowing you to coordinate with fellow nurses and make social plans outside of work. Whether you're a seasoned nurse or just starting, sharing your unique schedule can foster community, and learning from each other can provide support in this demanding field. Don't forget to comment and share your own schedule or tips on how you manage your time as a full-time nurse!
