Hey everyone! PGY-1 Pharmacy Resident here. I'm about 2 months out from finishing my residency and wanted to know more about what it's like working a 7 on 7 off schedule! I have heard that it's really what you make out of it, but I just wanted to know if anyone had any experiences or insight that they would like to share!
NOTE:
- Something I am worried about is how working a 7 on 7 off schedule would affect my social life and the ability to have a family down the road.
- I'm also worried about how working a 7 on 7 off schedule would affect me financially and the possibility of building a secure financial future.
- Lastly, I'm also interested in hearing about how working the overnight shift during your "On" week affects you during your "Off" week where you're probably staying awake during the day!
A little bit about me for reference!
- I'm 24, single, and have no current family obligations
- I do want to travel as I have not left the country since I was born
- I would like to maintain a general fitness schedule
- I have lots of hobbies that I would like to get back to. Wondering if that would be easier with a 7 on 7 off or a 9-5 work schedule.
- I currently have a small social network, and I'm wondering that if I'm traveling all the time how that would help or hurt me making more friends
You don't have to answer all of these questions! Any insight you have is already super helpful!
Thank you in advance!
