Night's or Day's?

What do you prefer? Night or Day Shift?

Thanks to all that vote!

I prefer my night shifts for several reasons:

1. I HATE getting up early in the morning. :rotfl:

2. It allows me to arrange my sleep during the day if my kids have something going on at school I'd like to attend.

3. Even if I am sleeping, it allows for an adult to be home when the kids are out of school or staying home sick. (They're old enough to stay by themselves - 14 & 16.)

4. The advantage of having less night staff is that you don't have as hard a time getting to a computer or chart. (Disadvantage is bigger patient load, less techs & no secretary, so we have to put in all our own orders.)

Evenings (does that count as one or the other?)
