>> My name is Jennifer Wood.
I'm from a very small town in New
Jersey called Belvedere, New Jersey.
I'm a registered nurse.
Went to college here, graduated in '07.
I work in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, as a very
small, brand new hospital called Saint Luke's.
They have a lot of chains but it's
a brand new Saint Luke's hospital.
Well my shift for nursing is day shift
and there are a whole lot of shifts.
I used to work at 3 a.m. and that was kind of
weird working at 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. or 3 to 3
but I -- my day I get up at
around 5:20 in the morning
and have to be at work around 6:30, 6:45.
And I work till 3 p.m. or 7 p.m. And you know
you go in and you have 2 or 3 patients a piece.
And they're not too, too sick
because it's a brand new hospital.
I work in an ICU.
Again it's not a hospital so if they're super,
super sick we send them off somewhere
else but you know, you go in.
You just assess the patients,
do all the tasks you need to do,
and collaborate with the doctors.
And then you go home.
And sometimes I'll get a run
in or I'll go right to sleep.
It's a little bit slower at night.
I mean it can be busy at night if you get
new admission who's really sick but you know,
in the morning, you try to get everyone washed
and all the physicians are there in the morning.
So you kind of have to know your
stuff and present it to them but yeah,
day shift is definitely a
preferable thing for me.
Night shift you're like a zombie.
