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.
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.
