Nurses are one of the few professional groups who have all done shift work at some time during their career-whether they wanted to or not. For all shift workers, but perhaps most pointedly for women with family responsibilities, shift work can be either a blessing or a curse. Many nurses who work night shifts have found ways to combine work, leisure and family life, despite the fact that they work when the rest of the world sleeps, and vice versa. For other nurses changing rosters and long blocks of night shift are an unwelcome imposition on a 'normal' life, yet one which they have no control over.
护士是少数几个在职业生涯中的某个时候都从事过轮班工作的职业群体之一——无论他们是否愿意。对于所有轮班工作的人来说，尤其是对于那些有家庭责任的女性来说，轮班工作可能是福也是祸。许多值夜班的护士找到了将工作、休闲和家庭生活结合起来的方法，尽管她们在世界上其他人睡觉的时候工作，反之亦然。而对其他护士来说，排班的变化和长时间的夜班是对“正常”生活的一种不受欢迎的强加，然而她们对此却无法控制。
