CIWA

I have worked 20years as an RN on the night shift and I just love it. The main thing is that Administration is not there. The CNA and I are the only staff in the building(I work in a small rehab unit which is in a building that isn't connected to the main hospital). Things are quite hectic during the day and I don't think I could handle that. When I first started working, my husband was working the pm shift, and me nights....When I cam home in the am, he got up with the kids....when he went in to work, I got up with the kids. Things were like this until my youngest started school. Now, he is home with the kids at night and when I come home in the am, the kids have already gotten on the bus...I go to bed and they wake me when they come home...it works out just fine. I would never work PM shift because I think I would miss alot of my kids school activities(anyway, at our facility because no one wants the change shifts or work for anyone else). Either way I enjoy night shift!!
