Re: Night shift to days, Which specialties are day shift friendly???

IMO there are no "day-friendly" floors in acute care. I'll add a "me too" to those who suggest cardiac rehab and/or cardiology office nursing. I've been in OP cardiology for almost two years now for the same reason (just can't do nights). I alternate weeks doing nuclear stress tests/stress echos and working in clinic with triage, labs, coumadin management, and patient education.

Part of me misses the adrenaline rush of hospital care, but I can't bring myself to go back. I love getting to know my patients, knowing their history in-depth and long-term, and actually being able to spend time with them one-on-one. The pay is not bad either. And I clock out at 5:00 sharp every business day.

In a perfect world I'd do this 3 days a week and work PRN in the hospital, just to stay sharp on all my skills.

Best of luck whatever you choose -- you are in demand!
