I had been working three 13/14 hour days a week, all day shifts of either 8 or 9AM-10PM, at a youth residential facility. After going several months with no referrals I was "temporarily reassigned" to an adult residential facility and told that I would be working all overnights (9PM-7AM). I expressed my displeasure over the new schedule but agreed to try my best to make it work. After more than a month of working these shifts I am constantly run down, tired and often ill. My fiance is threatening to leave if I don't stop working these shifts because I'm constantly tired and cranky. I have told my supervisor that I can't keep this up but she says that I have to keep doing overnights until they hire somebody. I am looking for other work but have no real time to interview because I am working Mon-Thurs overnights.
