I currently work as an RN at a psych facility in CA. We work 8 hour shifts but are trying to go to 12 hour shifts. I was told that it can be mentally draining for psych nurses to be with psych patients for 12 hours.
Nurses work 8 to 12 hour shifts. Part-time nurses' hours vary.

The working hours for neonatal nurses vary depending on the nurse. Some work daytime shifts while others work during the overnight hours.
Not in North America -- nurses get equal wages regardless of gender. They may get paid more depending on what they DO. Nurses who must lift heavy weights (such as the weight of a person), or work longer shifts get more money. More male nurses tend to take this kind of work as they have the muscles to do the lifting, and are less often the primary caretakers of children at home, so can work night shifts. Male nurses who do this work may get paid more for it.
It depends on the employment laws of your country. Here in the UK, nurses are expected to work a mixture of early, late, night and weekend shifts. The ward sister would normally draw up the rotor - and the ward staff would be expected to work the shifts they have been allocated - regardless of when those shifts are.
Private duty and home health nurses who work through an agency can pretty much choose what days and shifts they work. However, you must be prepared to be a bit flexible when your company is overwhelmed , or lots of nurses themselves are ill.
Nurses get paid well. They start off at around 50,000 dollars and can go up to over 100,000 depending on the area they work in and live in. Nursing is a high stress job and often they have to work 12 hour shifts.
RN's work rotating shifts normally. Their "tour" will encounter times when they will be required to work a holiday or two. This is a pretty fair approach to not just assigning one group of RN's all the holidays and weekends.
