I LOVE NIGHT SHIFT!

Congratulations!! You must be so proud of yourself. It must be wonderful to hear such positive things from patients and your co-workers.
It is also great to hear such a positive story coming from a new grad....good luck to you!!!!

Hi!
I was an 8-hours evening shift nurse, now a happy 12 hours night shift nurse. I LOVE to work nights, and I really thought I was NOT a night girl. I sleep like a baby all day, most days, and I have no issues staying up all night. Nights are usually a little more calm on a surgical floor, not so much in OB though, but I still like it. There is more team work on nights (I've done all 3 shifts), and no docs!!! Less stress overall!

I really enjoyed your post. I will be starting nights in 1 week and I was curious how it works- you described my dream job lol

Woop Woop! Congrats! I have been struggling a bit, but to hear your story has given me some hope. It sounds like you were born for this field!!

I hear you ... I am on night too. I'm a total night owl ... I had to BEG for 6 moths for night shift.

I have a feeling this will be me too. Nights are calling, as I usually go to bed around 4am and get up at noon anyways.

I did nights for 12 years, I liked it also at one time. Always good to hear someone satisfied with their job.

I have been reading so many posts and it was very refreshing to read such a positive blog. I am thinking of going into nursing and leave my current profession. I have been reading so many reasons why people hate nursing that it was nice to read why you love it!
Thanks.

Reading this makes me happy! I'm glad you're doing well and it's so great to hear from someone so enthusiastic about nursing.

Well done. it is so nice to hear tht u luvvvvv ur job.
