Thanks for you reply: I find it so much less stressful working at nights for the reasons you mentioned. Being a new nurse I am concerned that I will end up losing out by not interacting with the day shifts, but then I think thats rediculous because all i'm really losing out on is family interactons, which I can do without right now. I am thinking i will try to stick with nights until I have become more efficient at the way this department works. Then maybe shift to days... Too soon to tell at this point. And who knows I may not have a choice. I have two more weeks of having a preceptor and then I will be on my own. The unit director already knows I prefer nights. So hopefully she respects that and there is room enough for me. Was It a hard transition from nights to days initially?

Hi, I am new at my job in the ICU. Never did i imagine i would prefer night over day shifts, but sure enough that is what happened. It seems less stressfull. I am wondering if anyone else agrees with me. I would like to hear some shifts that people prefer over others and why. Thanks.
