Since the implementation of 12 hour shifts‚ studies have revealed additional benefits. Nurses are more content and satisfied‚ reporting “higher job satisfaction and less emotional exhaustion” (Stone‚ 2006‚ p. 1103).

independent of British control‚ another region of the world was just starting to taste European influence: the Pacific. Unlike the United States‚ where Britain exercised complete dominance for quite some time‚ the powers in the Pacific shifted among various countries and regions. These shifts in power were most evident starting around 1793 and throughout most of the 19th century when European empires gradually began to expand into Far East territories in hopes of strengthening their economies off of maritime

MODULATION TECHNIQUES 1.4.1 FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING (FSK) Frequency shift keying is a frequency modulation in which the digital information is transmitted by discrete changes in frequency of the carrier signal. This technology is used for the communication system such as caller ID and emergency broadcasts [19]. The binary FSK is the simplest FSK. BFSK uses a pair of discrete frequencies to transmit binary information. The 1 and 0 is mentioned as mark frequency and space frequency. The other forms

Fatigue‚ and Recovery Between Shifts One of the most prominent aspects of nurses’ lives that are detrimentally impacted by working 12-hour shifts is their sleep. Research shows that extended work schedules and sustained shift work‚ such as that seen in 12-hour shifts‚ can interfere with nurses’ abilities to achieve adequate sleep by reducing the number of hours for physical and cognitive recovery and the number of hours that can be devoted to sleeping between shifts (Geiger-Brown et al.‚ 2011; Geiger-Brown
