Is this sentence meaningful?

I wonder if the the following sentence is meaningful.

"In this hospital, night shift for nurses is 12 hours- from 7 pm to 7 am- and day shift is 7 hours- from 7 am to 2 pm- for nurses."
  

Top answer

It is not efficient, and the punctuation makes it a jumble of numbers. In this hospital, nurses work a 12-hour night shift (7 pm–7 am) and a 7-hour day shift (7 am–2 pm) . However, your content implies that there are no nurses on duty 2 pm to 7 pm.
