What is a part time nurse?

Part time nurses are registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, or nurse practitioners who work fewer hours than a full-time schedule, typically less than 30-36 hours per week. They perform the same duties as full-time nurses, such as providing patient care, administering medications, and collaborating with healthcare teams. Part time nursing positions offer more flexible schedules, making them ideal for those balancing work with family, school, or other commitments. Despite working fewer hours, part time nurses must still meet the professional and licensing requirements of their role.
