When I graduated, all the new nurses started out on nights. Now in home health it's days, with on call a few times a month. Unfortunately for me, my last call night I spent 6 hours with a hospice family. My boss was great, and had someone else see my regular patient's the next day, but I am not a day sleeper and am still suffering the after effects of working that night. God bless those who do nights... I'm too old to stay up that late!

Light in Night
In deed night shift realy gives nurses,docs and patients a friendly and clinically required atmosphere to get to know more about each other.For a patient it is even more of a blessing to know hat a nurse or a doc is just a 'bell' away. For a nursing student like me it is the time I appreciate the senior staff; like juke boxes you make them speak what you want to hear becoz you realy need them. NIGHT SHIFT ROCKS.
It’s a pleasure to be part of this wonderful forum. Remember my post ‘’Training in the dark.’’? Much thanks to P/J and Medic09, and every member of the Nursing Voices forum for your response to my post. Following the tips you gave me, members of my class who also felt like I did, approached the administration and shared our view on how the clinical sessions were conducted. The administration appeared understanding; they met a few ward sisters and discussed this. I just had my first 2hours with a mentor! (Wednesday 29/10/08) And it doesn’t stop at that! We’ve got Thursday too! Thanks a lot friends you have shone a beam of light in my world and career and of my friends’ too! Experience is worth sharing, it lights the paths of a friend, lifts the spirit of a broken soul and brings back the lost hope. You just made me learn that and I’m getting ready to share with you my own experiences. I love you all. Geff.
