My reason is simple...I don`t function well during days! Over the years I`ve just become a night owl, so nights from 7pm to 7am are perfect. I`m just so "fuzzy" if I get up for a day shift (trust me, school clinicals almost killed me) that nights are a natural for me. And I agree, I get way more hands on time at night then I could ever hope for during the mornings...sounds funny, but hs care can be one of the most relaxing parts of my night, even when I might have to do total care for 10 or more patients. (8 is usually the norm, unless I`m in charge of the floor, which happens a lot, then its just doing hs med passes) Plus, night staff rule! We are a different breed...
