:roll i love nights!! i work on a 45 bedded, elderly unit. the ward its huge, consisting of 16 rooms! and all the rooms are spred all over. (bring back the nightingale style wards!) if you hear a noise, you cant pin point the area, and have to check every room, its that big. a lot of these patients are falls risks, recent fractures strokes etc. 90% of these need assistance 24hr. we have 6 members of staff a night consisting 2 trained staff and 4 auxilarys. it is very busyand heavy, but i wouldnt trade it in for anything, i love it!! :rotfl:

i agree, ive been working nights since i started (4 years) which i love. ive never slept well at night, so working them helps me. your also able to do jobs, that day staff have no time for. i work on a elderly rehab ward, and although its very heavy, working nights ables us to talk to the patients and be more 'hand on' love nights Hate days :rotfl:
