Oh, that was so sad. My heart broke a little for you. My first year on nights was rough also. You are going to have a full year behind you! Congratulations! There is no reason not to put in a transfer request for the next day position, or be put on the wait list. You could also consider travel nursing now or check out other opportunities on day shift. You can always come back to night shift. Start looking at other options for yourself because you should not be unhappy.
