This is an odd thread but the more I think about it, the more I am so happy that I work the NOC shift.
I know that I can't work with my manager or any higher ups looking over my shoulder all the time to point out my weaknesses. I can't stand some of the Miss Goody 2 Shoes Perfect Me nurses that are the epitome of what irriates me beyond belief.
For example, there is a day shift team leader that we jokingly refer to as "Plastic" - She has a fake smile, fake personality, and overall fake cosmetically altered face - More Botox in her face than Joan Rivers.
Other day shift personalities I do not care for are my nurse educator. Deadpan in his facial expressions for everything. You could light a firecracker in his mouth and still you will get this blank stare.
At least on the NOC shift I work with many different and exciting personalities. There is much to learn from my co-workers and they have zest and energy....its a quality I have rarely seen in day shift staff.
I know I am rambling here but It just dawned on me
Maybe NOC shift staff is more energetic and alive due to the fact that our managers are not there.
As I always say "What happens on Night shift, Stays on night shift".
