I am a cardiac ICU/CCU flex RN at a level I trauma hospital. Our unit is in a separate bldg from the main hospital & houses strictly open heart, cardiac & vascular services incl cath labs, OR, etc. I have been a nurse for 5 yrs & have only worked nights in this unit. The night staff here works as a team, we always have each others back & try very hard to cultivate an atmosphere of learning by offering new hires to our unit help or advice on anything they might need. After working in this atmosphere, I would never work a day shift unless it was absolutely necessary! I encourage all seasoned nurses to step up to this challenge of helping to make new grads welcome & assisting them in becoming the best nurses they can be.
