Torn and don't know what to do!

Hi Everyone,

I have been a "lurker" here for a long time and love to read the posts and am joining now. I am a new RN and LOVE my job but I hate over nights. I have been doing it for 5 months now and just can't adjust - I suffer from terrible insomnia or sleep all the time, I am becoming depressed. I work in a busy ER and worry about leaving for something slower, and that I won't enjoy Med Surg/etc. I have an interview with an ICU DAY position but just worry about the work and if I will even like it. Change is always scary.

There is no chance of me moving to days or midshift. Any thoughts?

Thanks for reading!

    you might be asked to work nights in any position in a hospital. You might have to consider going outside the hospital, or see if there is a need in one of the day-only units, like special procedures, OR, PACU, ambulatory care---. Even then they have night shifts when there are emergency surgeries. A GI lab might be days only
