Which would you rather work....

Night shift baylor (sat and sun night) working 24 hours and getting paid for 32, driving 45 minutes to work OR>.>>

Day shift job working 3 days, driving 15 minutes to work. Working 36 hours and getting paid for 36 hours.

Specializes in Trauma, Teaching.

Of course, some nurse love it and more power to them.

But ALL night nurses should be put on padded pedestals for the sacrifices they make for the hospital.

Why, Thank You! I've done nights for the last 20+ years. Can't imagine getting up at 5:30 or even 6 for any good reason unless I'm in a tent on a Scout trip. Family camping sleeps in!

Chenoa, hope it works out for you! There are plenty of people who really want those days, glad you got them, (because I sure don't!). There's a lot to be said for a set schedule.

Do you have a family? Children? I love to go out on weekends and just spend time with the loved ones: family and friends. But I'd rather do five eights than three twelves or two weekend nights. My bf works insane hours at the big law firm.. If I was working weekends, we would not see each other at all :scrying: Depends on your situation though... Good luck!!! oh, and driving fr 45 min sucks too...
