So working nights is an adjustment, but going well so far. I have had two night shifts of orientation and have done well with the sleepy factor. It gets a little confusing though you get confused about when to eat, of course your days/nights are opposite. Poor Matt has been feeling pretty puny with his cold, so he is struggling while we are on opposite schedules. Just a little stressful right now.
I never realized how difficult it would be to learn a new system of nursing. I have always done things one way and I feel a little disoriented in my new work environment at this time. I think after the first week I will feel a little better. Sunday night is my first night off orientation so we'll see. It is a little nerve wracking to not be interacting with your pts as much. On days you are constantly aware of how your patient is doing because there is so much going on. On nights you peek on them, but want to let them sleep and I just keep getting nervous about missing something.
