Tips for a NICU shadow

Feb 18Feb 18

Hi all,

I finally applied for a NICU position at my hospital, it will be night shift which is dreadful, but the manager said it hopefully won't be for too long. She actually uses hospital seniority to decide who gets the next day shift and not unit seniority. She also said many of her night shift nurses actually want to stay on night shift, which I cannot grasp, but to each their own! ?

Anyway, the point of this post is to ask for any tips for my NICU shadow that is next week. I already interviewed with the nurse manager and will interview and shadow night shift from 7pm until 9pm. I am guessing they may ask if I like nights shifts and if they do how should I answer? I don't want to lie and say I love night shift, but I also don't want to tell them how much I truly hate night shift. Also any other etiquette I should know? I do work at this hospital already as an RN.

Thanks for any tips!

Annie
