If it's not important enough for day shift to stay over a little, then it's not important for me to get up in the middle of the day between 2 shifts or stay an extra few hours or go home to return in a few hours. I won't be there. If they're REALLY so short staffed they need me to do like 11 straight shifts or can only accommodate 12 hour shifts, then firing for such an infraction just won't be an option. If it is? Then they didn't need me 11 straight or or need to demand 12s. It's a logic thing with me.

I’m in medschool and my best friend is in nursing school. We both go to classes during the day and do practice and volunteer during nightshift. Since I’m a first year and she’s a second year we spend most of the time with the nurses who are such an amazing and inspiring group of people. I’ve never seen so much compassion, understanding and patience in one person. They are always finding stuff to teach us, going out of their way to explain stuff or help us learn. Nurses are like the bones of the hospital. Nothing would move or stay up without them.

He was in hospital for weeks I think and had to have loads of surgeries to fix it, he still has a huge scar today. All over 2 inches 😂

As a recruiter, I love connecting with night shifters who wouldn't EVER switch to days. It's typically because of the team and the need to do so much more on your own due to no ancillary.

On my last "day" of work, they threw me a party. There was a downs syndrome gentleman there. I didn't recognize him. He DID recognize me. He was 7 when his parents rushed him to our ED, for swallowing 2 gloves. As we were prepping him for surgery, I told him how handsome he was and that I was in love with him.

I have my last forced day shift orientation tomorrow from 7a-7p. New job. Then it’s back to night shift. Thank heavens! I’ve had enough.

ha. I am the opposite. Working forced night shift orientation. Can't wait to get ta day position. I can't live like this. I like the shift and people tho.

Nailed it 100%, right down to the heated blanket. Everyone's circadian rhythm turns down the body temp around 3 or 4 when your body wants to sleep sooo bad, we called it Hitting the Wall. I could usually be heard telling a co-worker, "I think I'm dying", lol. Back before bedside report it was torture waiting for the next shift to come out of the report room, "What the ever-lovin-$%&&% are they doing in there?!?!" LOL

I was total nightshift nurse for a number of years before my current role in management, I can relate to everything here!! And I always checked to see if it was a full moon ... if you work at night in healthcare you get it lol 😆

No yelling doctor in your face.lol more pay depending on the job, job security at night becos no one wants your shift...lol night shift nurses are special

“Why do they always have HGTV on in here” 😂🙌🏼

Old nurse here…like I’m literally commenting on a video for the first time…u crack me up Nurse Blake…keep em coming…I’ll be the old nurse who lets you know if we’re needing a sudden stunning number of LifeVests…for the staff…🤣

This is SOOOOOO spot OOOOOOONNNNNN. Day shift and turning on the lights when they arrive 😵‍💫

omg this is soooo my job especially how the day shift gets the catered parties & night shift gets the leftovers 😏night shift..nailed it..🙌

All the comments are so very true!!! I’ve worked night shift as a nurse for about 18 years or so.😁

I'm not a nurse but I work backshift often at my hospital in the kitchen/NICU (unit aide), and as soon as I saw the blanket I burst out laughing. Thank god for blanket warmers on backshift lmfao

I'm not a Nurse , but I've been in and out of the Hospital a lot over the past 4-5 years.( I've got really bad lung issues). I'm a regular patient at my local Hospital , and I've gotten to know 95% of the staff. But the Nursing Staff is the best , and I love and appreciate them so much.🌹 But the Night Shift is the best.. Not only are they fantastic in there job, they're some of the best comedians I've ever heard in my life.. Sometimes I can hear them out at the nurses station taking about Day Shift.. I'm going to get into all of that ,( keep it PG-13 ). But I've heard some crazy funny stuff coming from them. May God's Love and Care be with every Nurse and Tech around the globe. Doctor's may Diagnose , but Nurses deliver the Cure . Along with Love , Compassion , Consern and sometimes just a listening ear.. Thank You All so much for being who you are.. 🙏👍❤️🇺🇸

They can have their appreciation potlucks, we get our staff-appreciation-close-to-our-unit parking.

I’m a nurse 15 years of nights... and this is so true! I love it 😂😂😂

Agree! Not just nursing either. Me...night shift lab assistant 7 years...night shift RN 9.5 years. Yup, night shift for life!

“That must be nice, having dinner with your family” I DIED

You seem like such a fun dude to work with, I honestly wish I could be at least half as funny and friendly as you if I get to be a nurse some day.

I worked nightshift for four years and been working day shift now for over ten years. My biggest pet peeve working nights was when people would assume I could go to any get together, appointment because I worked nights. I'm thinking, no, I need to sleep first or do it on a day when I didn't just work the night before. Loved the video! So true! ; )

Have you ever noticed how training is considered best accomplished in the middle of the day between 2 night shifts? 🤣 I keep waiting for staff development to bring everyone around for training at like 2 or 3 am...yeah, hell's gonna freeze over first.

@@ngo7156 I personally think a year of night shifts should be mandatory for anyone that wants to hold a leadership or training position in ANY field that has as many non business hours employees as nursing. The staggering amount of ignorance and inconsiderate behavior from these sorts of positions is inexcusable. Night shift has been a significant aspect of our society for at least 100 years now. A complete lack of understanding of or consideration for shift workers is pretty inexcusable at this point. It's bad enough that society in general can't seem to be quiet for day sleep... for people fully aware of the work schedule to give no thought to dragging someone out of bed for training (that is often easily handled with a video), is ridiculous.

So true, Night shift for life! Also commenting at 1 am. 😂

Omg! This is exactly why I worked night shift when I was a nurse! He is exactly on point how night shift was and is! Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shout out to my wonderful night nurses(and nurses in general) after I had my baby via c section. Idk how they do all that they do. Helping me change pads after my spinal block and calming me down after I thought I was gonna be paralyzed forever (and much more gross things I couldnt have done myself or put up with myself)😂💕 they were amazing and super caring. Yall are magical

We have a night shift designated locker always stocked with all the snacks.. for emergencies 😋

Omg paging the resident on nights and just praying they'll be nice🤣😭. And the lights being turned on for day shift just reminding you how dead you feel🤣🤣🤣

Everything in this video about night shift was spot on lmao...i remember when I left days to go to nights, best move of my life. I felt like Aladin becoming prince Ali...It was "a whole new wooorld" *in my princess Jasmine voice*

Girl!!! I’ll never do days no matter what! I hate being bothered by management and visitors!

You’re adorable! I hope I have a friend like you in nursing 💛 nice videos!

Thank you night shift nurses for your service! Honestly you guys are the best and are really dedicated to making people feel comfortable and happy. Just wanted to say that you all rock!❤️

Blake, you are a hoot and spot on! This old retired RN did night shift for 23 out of 30 years! Retired 2018 secondary to health issues. You have nailed the night shift though! Love love love your videos! ❤ Keep making us laugh!

I’m not a nurse buy my SIL is, This is so funny to me but it helps me relate to the stuff she shares with me. Nurse Blake you are the funniest I’ve ever heard. Kudos to a beautiful person both in and out.

Nordstrom and Nordstrom rack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m dead. Im not a nurse but I work for Nordstrom. LOL

This was ON POINT. I worked intake at a mental health facility and I can identify at least one coworker for each scene. You've either worked it or heard enough stories to do an accurate portrayal

I am an 11-7 med tech and it’s always been my favorite shift. It takes a special person to completely flip days and nights and still be fun and cheerful! Love your videos!!!

“That’s the difference between Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack” I CAN’T 😂😂😂😂

Omg, that’s so true about HGTV always on! Lmao

I love being an overnight unit coordinator. Night shift nurses rock! (actually, all nurses rock!)

This makes a day shift nurse mad 😂😂

So true about night shift-40 years Ed RN

Okk we need to clone himm he seems like the best nurse to work with 😂
