So...after having been on nights for a few shifts...I have noticed several things. First of all...I am entirely confused about what time of day or what day it is. I never know. I said good morning to my patient around 8pm the other night and now I have to consciously think about not saying that. Secondly, It is very strange to sleep during the day. Two, movie theaters' last showtimes are usually before 11pm...which severely limits the shows I can go to (can only see movies during my mornings). Lastly, on my days off (sometimes only get one or two days off in a row), I don't know what to do with myself since everyone else is asleep. All that to say...I actually am enjoying being on nights because I can get so much done on my days off and the hospital is typically a bit more quiet since there is less traffic at night. Not a bad deal altogether, but I don't imagine that I would want to do this forever :-)
