As the puppies rely more and more on solid food, the mother should start naturally producing less milk. When the puppies begin eating the solid food, start weaning the mother off of puppy food back onto adult food. This should happen slowly. The first week, feed 3/4 puppy food and 1/4 adult. The next week, feed 1/2 and 1/2. The third week, feed 1/4 puppy and 3/4 adult. Then, she is ready for her full meal of adult food.
Despite literature saying the majority of nurses like 12-hour shifts, their research found they were more likely to leave their job than those who worked shorter shifts. Nurses underestimate the impact of working long shifts because the idea of working 3 days a week instead of 5 seems appealing, Stimpfel and colleagues wrote. Researchers found a relationship between shift length and patient satisfaction. When nurses worked shorter shifts, patients were more satisfied.
Days or First Shift: 6am - 2pm or 7am - 3pm. Evenings or Second Shift: 2pm - 10pm or 3pm - 11pm. Nights or Third Shift: 10pm - 6am or 11pm - 7am. These are not exact times; most shifts are actually 8.5 hours with a 30 minute unpaid lunch break factored in. My current shift is 2nd/Evening from 2:45pm to 11:15pm. 1st is 6:45am to 3:15pm, 3rd is 10:45pm to 7:15am, and there are a few nurses on 12 hour shifts from 6:45am to 7:15pm or 6:45pm to 7:15 am.
