As a full-time core staff nurse, I am frequently reassigned or sent home after only 4 hours, which risks patient safety and my license because I cannot provide adequate care in such a short time.

Existing staffing systems do not account for minimum shift duration to ensure safe patient care; they treat nurses as interchangeable resources without considering continuity of care or license protection.
