[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 857455, member: 4568"] Agreed. I always feel bad for the on call guys. Nights, afternoons, and early morning coverage. All in the same week. 10 hrs off is often times not enough. It has come to be accepted in much the same way resident doctors work 36 hrs straight. It needs to be addressed because it is a safety risk. Even on a regular schedule the forced "extra trip" can be dangerous. Some nights I'm not tired at all and don't mind, other nights its all I can do get back and stay awake. Bottom line is we are responsible for our own safety. If you are too tired, then say so. They will figure out a way to move the load. And always make sleep and rest your number one priority. Took me awhile to learn that, because it always seems like something needs to be done. Fact is working 12 hr days means most " things" need to be done on the weekend. [/QUOTE]
