But the research is pretty clear that this is horrid for teens/kids

I survived. And you can get up at 6:30, even if you live 20 miles away. We started at 7:45

Agree. Wasn’t aware you could do it online. Good to know

Yea I know. I realize it will never happen as it only trends in the opposite

Yea. I do 72 hour call shifts. The whole thing is so dangerous for our health

Mandate no shift can be longer than 16 hours.
