Day shift nursing roles – options if you want to ditch nights

Nursing staff who want regular daytime-only shifts have lots of roles to choose from. We hear from three nurses who have made the switch to core working hours for flexibility with family commitments and social life and better work-life-balance – one to general practice nursing, one to nurse education and the other to the private sector. They offer their tips and we also look at implications for your pay and the pros and cons of only working day shifts.
