Will I ever see the light of day?

Published

I am loving the NICU but nights are killing me. I was wondering how long it takes to get to days in other areas of the country. At my hospital it is a 10 YEAR wait, ugh.:uhoh3:

Thanks,

After working a week on days recently, I rather not be offered a day position. I rather deal with double the patients at night minus administrative BS, rude personell, catty co-workers and yes, the family!!!!

It took me 6 years to get my day-shift job. Always a wait in our neck of the woods. Some of our day-shifters are passed retirement age and still don't want to retire. Gotta love their devotion.;)

I actually saw the light of day LESS when I worked 7a to 7p. Go in when it's dark and get out of work when it's dark. At least working nights you can see daylight while you are off work.

So true, on nights, at least one of the drives is in daylight!!
