Borrelia Burgdorferi. Lyme disease is caused by a number of different strains and species of Borrelia bacteria, generally Borrelia burgdorferi in the United States and Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii in Europe.epending on the strain of Borrelia, the bacteria will be more or less likely to spread through the bloodstream to distant sites in the body (Wormser, Brisson, Liveris et. al., 2008). When it does spread, it can cause arthritic, neurological, cardiovascular and other symptoms.
Some health care facilities utilize a 12-hour model for their registered nursing staff. The nurse generally works for 12 hours (usually 7 am to 7 pm or vice versa) a day for three days in a row and then has the next four days off.
There are so many times Iâve heard someone say how great it must be to âonlyâ work 3 days a week. I usually smile, nod, and lie through my teeth: yes, itâs great having 4 days off every week. But 12-hour shifts are usually 14-hour shifts, and the work that we do as nurses is physically and emotionally demanding, draining us every shift of every last ounce of energy.
