RN 1: 
- Vacation time = 5 weeks = 200 hours (assuming 40-hour work week)
- Education time = 3 days = 24 hours (assuming 8-hour work day)
- Sick time = 3 days x 8 hours = 24 hours

Total non-productive time = 248 hours

RN 2: 
- Vacation time = 6 weeks = 240 hours
- Conference and workshop = 5 days = 40 hours
- No sick time
- Total non-productive time = 240 + 40 = 280 hours

RN 3:
- Orientation time = 3 weeks = 120 hours
- Vacation time = 4 weeks = 160 hours
- Total non-productive time = 120 + 160 = 280 hours

RN 4:
- Vacation time = 6 weeks = 240 hours
- Sick time = 2 weeks x 40 hours = 80 hours
- Education time = 3 days x 8 hours = 24 hours
- Total non-productive time = 240 + 80 + 24 = 344 hours

RN 5:
- Vacation time = 5 weeks = 200 hours
- Sick time = 5 days x 8 hours = 40 hours
- Total non-productive time = 240 hours

RN 6:
- Vacation time = 6 weeks = 240 hours
- Sick time = 4 weeks x 40 hours = 160 hours
- Total non-productive time = 240 + 160 = 400 hours

Total non-productive time for all RNs = 248 + 280 + 280 + 344 + 240 + 400 = 1792 hours
Total productive time = 52 weeks x 40 hours/week x 6 RNs = 12,480 hours

Therefore, the answer is choice C: 10,848.
