Night shift better for shy personalities?

[mamacita2]

I've been shy all my life. However, when it comes to nursing care, I try to speak up. I also do not do well under pressure. I know nursing is very tough and some may question why I chose it, but I chose it because I like it. However, as I'm finishing school, I'm realizing maybe the night shift is better for my personality, the 7pm to 7am shift where I'm not bombarded by patient's families, doctors, etc.

Do you think the night shift is better?

Some of your shyness will improve/disappear with experience. I'm naturally an introvert and am reserved in new situations, but after doing the nursing things that require you to be more extroverted (calling docs, dealing with distraught pts/families, delegating, etc.), you will get so much better! I promise :-)
