I guess I never think of 3rd shift as boring. I work in a small state Acute Care psych hospital. Our admits come in all hours and some discharges. And it's a rare night that ALL of the clients sleep. There's usually a couple of manic or psychotic folks up all night. Yes, a lot of paperwork gets put on NOC "because they're all sleeping and we're too busy." But I do like being the resource person for other staff and that we counsel, cry, talk and sometimes even have to protect someone from themselves. But really, NOC is the BEST shift to work.
