Night shift work

Published

Should a person take a job working 11 PM - 7 Am to get their foot in the door at a hospital?

I see ads for this postiion from time to time, but I don't think I am one for working night shift.

Or is it a stepping stone until daytime hours open up?

I have put on 40 pounds after being on night shift for 3 years. It goes on slowly so you do not really notice....until you get on the scales. This seems to be the norm as most of the nurses say the put on weight. I think it is because we never really know when to eat.
