Night Shift

Its so hard to believe, but my day shift orientation is officially over. It went by super fast, but I really enjoyed getting to know all of the people who work during normal hours ;) I am glad that I started out there because I got to see how busy it is during the day and got used to caring for patients even when the day was crazy so hopefully that means it will be a little easier during the night.

As fun as it was to be on the day shift, I'm excited about getting to nights. For those who don't know what that means, I will be working 7pm-7am for three nights a week. I'm a little nervous about it, just because I don't know how our new schedule will work...but we will just make the most of the time that we have together on those days and we just have to remember that its only 3 nights!

Positives about working nights:

1) Usually [knock on wood] its a slower pace.

2) No waking up early in the morning!

3) Less doctors/PT/OT/etc taking your patients from one end of the hospital to the other.

4) More money!

5) More time for actually learning and not just rushing around trying to complete tasks

My first night shift is this Tuesday! Please be praying for us as we figure out how our marriage/life works when working different shifts :)
