A full-time equivalent (FTE) is typically based on a 40-hour workweek. The nurse works 24 hours (2 x 12-hour shifts) every week and an additional 8 hours every other week, averaging 4 hours per week (8 hours over 2 weeks). This totals 28 hours per week (24 + 4), which is 70% of a 40-hour workweek, making the position 0.7 FTEs.
