at my hospital we always work the same shifts unless we're called in to cover a shift. It's nice not having to constantly switch back and forth from days to nights. our shifts are 06-1830, 1800-0630, 09-1730, 11-2330, 1700-0330 and 1700-0130.
the previous ER I worked in only used to have 07-19 or 19-07 shifts, you would work 2 days then 2 nights. they ended up adding positions for 09-21 and 11-23 so there was better continuing coverage but the majority of nurses still worked the day/night rotations.
