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.
For 30 shifts, nurses were scheduled to work 16 or more consecutive hours, and for 85 shifts, they actually worked 16 hours or more. The longest scheduled work shift was 17 hours (n = 3), and the longest actual work shift was 23 hours and 30 minutes.espite concerns expressed by nurses about the ability to provide high-quality care when working overtime and/or extended shifts for many years, 18 â 20 the relationship between staff nursesâ work hours and patientsâ safety has been examined in only a few empirical studies.
