# The Nurse Shift Week week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/nurse-shift-week/

A weekly schedule for nurses and other 12-hour shift workers: three day shifts, a recovery walk and stretching after each, training and meal prep on days off, and sleep protected around the shifts.

## Why it works
- **Training on days off** keeps it from competing with 12-hour shifts.
- **Meal prep on Sunday** means the shift days have food ready.
- **A short walk every evening** helps winding down after long shifts.

## Make it yours
- Night shifts? Put the shifts at 19:00 and move sleep to the morning; keep the same anchors.
- Rotating rota? Most rota tools offer a calendar feed: link it so shifts land in the Grid.

## Questions

**How do I plan training around 12-hour shifts?**
Put it on days off, keep sessions short and fixed, and treat sleep before a shift as a block you do not move.
