I am a travleler working the 12 hour midnight shift. I like the shift better but have alot of trouble with the sleep cycles. If I have several days off in a row I drive home which currently is a 6 hr drive one way but I cant see sleeping the day away and wasting a day off. Well most of the time my neighbors arent too bad but this last assignment the neighbors seem to pound up and down the stairs by my apartment only when I am trying to sleep.....Don't get me wrong I love working midnights because you can focus on the patients and not deal with the offices and other big wigs. So what if I lose some sleep and stay up half the night on a night off. I prefer my midnight shift to any day shift all of the time!!!!:monkeydance:

Really I always wanted to be a nurse ever since I was little. I cant remember ever wanting to do anything else. I was in Nursing school at age 18 when my mother died and I had to quit shortly after to take care of my dad and 12 year old sister but a few years later I decided it was time to go back....and after 13 years I did get my associates degree....It just took forever. Now I am traveling and love the opportunities it gives me to see some of the country. I can't go far due to my dads health but I have visited a few states so far and Hawaii here I come some day soon!!!!!!:chuckle :loveya:
