Hello Student

In every reputed hospitals doctor has to work 40 to 48 hours in a week. There is a roster in every hospital that entry of every health workers doctors and nurses are included according tailor time schedule of working period. Registered nurse of full time has to work 36 to 40 hours in a week that 3, 12 hours shift in a week. A senior  doctor have to work more than 12 hours a day whenever there is an emergency patient of accident or any other patient who have admitted for serious cause in ICU. But more than 12 hours duty during a day can bring hazards and endanger the life of a patient because this long hours and excessive hours of working can make a doctor restless. So the permissible hours for working of a doctor should be not more than 6 hours and have  should have  one off day  per week.

Hope this will help.

Hello Aspirant.

Hope you are doing well.

A Sr. Hospital is an acute care hospital that has senior doctors and nurses.  They have 24 hour nursing staff. But as per the norms No adult can work for more than 48 hours a week according to our law. Any extra work other than 48 hours a week will be considered as a part of overtime and payment should be made for that accordingly. In practicality there is no proper law in many organization. Legally it is 8 hours. There were issues to add 1 hour daily and give Saturday off.

GOOD LUCK, STAY MOTIVATED AND HOPE THIS HELPS.

Thankyou.
