It all depends honestly, where I work there is a big change from our day shift crew and night shift crew. I work nights and I feel we all help each other out no matter what and people aren't afraid to ask questions or for help because of this. I had to be charge on days while on light duty and I noticed on days people are afraid to ask some for help, many get left to drown unless you are friendly with the right people, and just overall they are a lot more snarky with each other. So again I would say its kind of just luck and if you really enjoy the atmosphere you are in hopefully you can find the same one closer to family.

1) It all depends, in my unit alone our night shift is a lot more laid back/people friendly while our day shift has the "drown on your own" mind frame unless you are friendly with certain people. Why I love working on nights where I do. 2) It is on all the nurses/techs that have had the patient nad haven't been moving them around to stop the development of that ulcer

I absolutely enjoy and love my job and never truly understand why people complain so much about things in nursing. At the end of the day you get to go home and that "annoying patient" is stuck in the hospital for more than just your 8/12 hr shift. I work nights and sometimes on off times I can sit back and be like at least I'm not stuck outside digging ditches or working in 100 degree weather or worse worried that I may be laid off time and time again cause my company is downstaffing. I enjoy every time I have to go to work (even though of course I'd rather be home with my wife relaxing) but I'd rather be doing this job than SO many others.
