I began to view myself as a real nurse only ever since I started working night shifts.
Most of the doctors and allied health professionals go back to their homes, they have lives to live too. But the patients still need to be taken care of, somebody has to be around.
Nurses on night duty are like guards watching over their patients, making sure they are well through the night. Or at least in the ICU, for, as educated to me by my preceptor, ICU nursing is very much about monitoring; you see something not right, you report it to the doctor.
Well, I like making sure my patients have quality rest, as best as they can take.
