i have just came from anotehr coast and ended up in a new coast where they say nursing is better...i was working at nights before now i switched to day and believe me man! its just too much drama! im going back to nights because i think its my "normal" self...with more normal people whose not trying to get noticed by the boss each and everytime and there is more team work..a lot more rest and down time. during the day nurses tend to get burned out easier but live a normal life whereas nights we are really in a diffrent world. but without night RN's, who would take care of the sick patients? days or nights you chose...just remember that you are there not only to work and get paid but to be an advocate to your patients... CHEERS!
