3-11

Published

I am considering taking a job working the 3-11 shift. Can anyone tell me what they think of this shift? How does it impact your life? I am married without children yet so I don't have to worry about that. It seems like a lot of things in life happens 3-11 ya know? Does anyone like it? I thought I might because I like to stay up late and sleep in...but I don't want to feel like all I do is work which is how I felt when I work 7p-7a. I would appreciate your experiences. Also, is management less or more of a problem 3-11?

I did not like this shift. At first it was ok but it really cuts into your social time. It always seemed that I was going to work just as everyone else on the planet is winding down and ready to leave. Plus, I am not a morning person so I would end up going to bed at 4 am and waking at 1pm. I like to stay up late and sleep in but I would rather have work getting me up in the morning because left to my own devices, I ain't gettin up if I don't have to. I got nothing done.

What I did like about it was that it is not this race to get everything done. Things were calmer and less chaotic and my co nurses seemed to be a better bunch to work with in my opinion.

I don't think I would do it again. If I did, it would definitely not be full time.

Very well said. I agree! :yeahthat:
