This only worsens the nursing shortage in America. Despite regulations on shift length and working hours for resident physicians and individuals in other industries, there are currently no national work hour policies for registered nurses (Aiken, Sloane, Stimpfel, 2012). Even if nurses are not mandated to work overtime they often feel coerced into working “voluntary” overtime (Aiken, Sloane, Stimpfel,

In the medical field, residents’ work hours were reduced down to 80 hours per week in 2003, and the ACGME is still proposing further restrictions. Outside of the medical field, truck drivers are limited to solely eleven hours of driving, given a ten-hour break; along with railroad workers, who must also take a ten-hour break before starting a shift. Another time demanding profession is aviation, in which their administration allows pilots to fly only sixteen consecutive hours, and if a flight delay were to extend that pilot’s shift, then they must switch (Townsend & Anderson, 2013).

The amount of people working more than 50 hours has increased since the 1980’s. Anna Burger, researcher and provider of charts in this article, believes there are two important things that contribute to less increase in work hours. One being “‘labour-market regulation.’” It is, in her words, “comprised of things like how difficult it is to fire people and how rigid working-hour rules are.” This is saying that giving employees fewer rights, allows their bosses to pressure them into staying later. The second being the amount of part-time employment. The more part-time employees there are, the less hours for one person to work.
