How many days is full-time?

Full-time is often defined in hours, and not days, but the traditional work week includes 5 eight-hour work days. This amounts to forty working hours per week. There are many shift jobs that do not follow this standard.

Nurses, doctors, and others in healthcare often work shift work that can include 12-hour shifts. In these positions, people often work 3 days a week, putting them at a total of 36 hours per week.
