Going to nights!

Good luck! I remember when I went to nights I was welcome with open arms, hopefully you will be too.

i think you'll find nights alot nicer than day shift. night shift staff are known to work well together & are supportive. let us know how it goes! :paw:

i totally agree. i work the 2nd shift (3p-1130p) and you could not pay me to work day shift if i did not have to. everyone wants that shift it seems and there is no way i would (no offense to anyone who works that shift). it's more type a personality and every man for himself. the later the shifts get, the more supportive it seems your co-workers are, at least at the hospital i work at anyway. :)

Good luck on nights!!!! I love night shift. I will trade sleep anytime to work with great coworkers

i agree...me too...but i think every shift has got its own staff with different personalities...it is harding working without supportive staff....

I've been working 7p-7a for almost 12 years. I love it! Night shift is just a different personality of people. I hope everything goes well for you!

Enjoy your night shifts, I hope it falls into place and you enjoy it as much as us other die hard night nurses do. I would suggest you learn where and who your resources are as soon as you can. Working nights means less staff available and it's good to know who is there. I love working nights and my co-workers are the best, I always feel like I have the support I need even if it is a phone call away.

When working any shift, you get back what you give. Be the kind of nurse you want to work with. Ask yourself, how can I help my co-worker get her job done as easily as possible and still do my own. You will find others will treat you the same way.

Enjoy your new adventure and have fun.
