My Day
Days differ
My schedule is very flexible but your schedule depends on the company you work for and the type of flying you're doing. Sometimes I'll work a 14 hour day, other times a 24 hour day. The pace and stress level varies. Sometimes on my rotation, I'll fly every day.
That's what happened on my last rotation and the level of acuity was pretty high. We had a lot of sick patients. We all got tired over time and it was pretty stressful.
On the other hand, sometimes you can go days without a call.
