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.
One of the biggest concerns over the length of a nurseâs shift is fatigue, and its effect on safety and patient care. A study from the University of Maryland School of Nursing looked at nurses who worked three consecutive 12-hour shifts and found a pattern of sleep deprivation and slower reaction time.owever, 12-hour shifts have been gaining popularity among nurses and hospitals for quite some time now. The 12-hour nursing shift dates back to the 1970s when it was used as a way to retain staff during the national nursing crisis. It allowed nurses more time at home and allowed hospitals to use fewer agency nurses.
