Shared from another nursing group page, This couldn’t be more true!! Working shifts and more often than not night shifts, I have made certain observations tha...t I'm going to share with you! You can't walk into the duty room to start a night shift without shouting "morning!!!" Anyone who has worked with you the night before will ask you how you slept. This, in turn, elicits a response which involves telling them exactly what time you got to sleep, what time you woke up needing the loo, how long you lay there for before you actually got up to finally go to the loo, how long it took you to get back to sleep, and then what time you finally got up for good! They in turn will then relay their shitty day of sleep back to you which usually involves a noisy child/neighbour/dog!! We would never tell someone that in the morning when we arrive for a day shift!! We are obsessed....and I mean obsessed with knowing the following information: how many nights are you working?? What number night shift is this?? When are you back in work again after your nights finish? How have your nights been? And if it's the first night you need to know what time they got up this morning and have they had a nap before coming into work? We are also ridiculously obsessed with knowing what colleagues have bought into work with them to eat? In actual fact it won't matter because....somebody will plonk a bag of midget gems and a box of biscuits on the table and it's a free for all!! You are more than able to consume a chili and rice at 2:45am, and call it your tea! There are either people saying "I can't believe it's 5am, it's flown...or people saying "I can't believe it's only 5am, I want to die!!!" During the last 30 minutes of your shift you get a very weird "excited" feeling that creeps up as you smell the day staff. And you do smell them, their Nivea deodorant and their perfumes wafting up the corridor as opposed to your colleagues who generally smell of coffee and sweat and lots of other unmentionable bodily fluids and look like Alice Coopers weirder sister! If you see any member of staff leaving the building before the end of their shift as you are walking into start your shift, you have to say "well that's got to be a good sign!" Because that is the law! When you have finally finished your run of nights you have to tell anyone willing to listen, exactly how many days off you have got now before your return, and there are also many, many conversations involving the age-old question of how long to sleep after your last night and what time to get up and what if you don't go to bed at all or what if you sleep for too long?? The battle is real. Night shifts......not for wimps!! See more
