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.
In 2004, the Institute of Medicine recommended that state regulators prohibit nurses from working more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period, and over 60 hours in a seven-day period. These recommendations apply to any combination of scheduled shifts and mandatory or voluntary overtime.et while scheduling less shifts with longer hours might seem appealing, in the long run the study found that nurses two worked shifts of 10 hours or more were more likely to experience burnout, job dissatisfaction and leave nursing compared to nurses who worked shorter shifts.
