2. Night Shift

   LVNurse replied to Neon8's topic in General Nursing

   I have worked nights most of the time that I've worked (20+ yrs) and I like it. I think you either are someone who can adapt to it or aren't. I've known of some nurses that just cannot adjust, but I find it 'fits' my own clock. I work 7p-7a 4 days a ...
