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.
I was told by other nurse friends that there is a limit of 18 hours in a row but am not sure of the actual law. I have tried to find information about it but cannot. We routinely have nurses work 16 hour shifts and many who will work 5,6,7 and even 8 12 hour shifts in a row.
