Can't understand this job ad?

I'm trying to figure out what the hours would be. It's listed under "part-time." 3P-11P;11P-7A/Weekdays and weekends Shift Details: This position is normally scheduled for both 2nd and 3rd shift. Would that mean 3-11 one day a week, and 11-7 one days a week? Or varying days? But it also says: Hours/Pay Period: 40 Do you think it means there are 40 hours in their pay period because 40 hours a week is not part-time. Also, in the job title it has (PT 50%) next to it. Any idea of what that would mean? All of the jobs under this employer's listings have this lingo. There are also jobs listed that have 48 hours/week under Hours/Pay Period and say (PT 60%). How on Earth could 48 hours per week be considered part-time? These are local hospital jobs - you'd think they'd have a better system of listing these. Do you work 48 hours a week one week, and have the next week off, maybe? Is that how they get away with listing it as part-time?

1. The pay period might be for two weeks, or 20 hrs per week. Sounds like the daily schedule is subject to radial change; a good chance of getting jet lag with a schedule that changes like that.
2. The hours mean that it will vary and the you will have a total of 40 hours per pay period
3. This is a typical nursing schedule. It would be 8 hour shifts but some will be on evening shift and some on night shift, these are all weekdays AND weekends. I hope this helps
4. Most healthcare employers pay every-other week. Part-time 50% is 40 hours each pay.
