Do I have to train for a new job on day shift?

Hi, I'm supposed to be a night nurse but they are training me on day shift. Day shift is freaking me out and is making me think I can't handle the job. Is it possible to be trained on nights?
Relax, You will get some training on the night shift too.

Yeah, so you can get the idea of the paperwork, people, routines, etc....day shift has the most opportunities to see various parts of the facility. I always hated going through the day orientation, but it really does expose you to more of the general operation of the floor Sometimes they keep you on days for a few weeks, so don't worry if it takes a while. It gets better

There are procedures that are far more common on days that you need to be aware of before you go to nights. Don't get freaked out, please keep your cool about you.Best wishes!

To be honest, on our unit we have a saying, Day shifters can do nights but night shifters cant do days. Day shift is a fast pace, procedures happen, Drs need to be called, family is there.. Theres just a LOT of action going on that needs to be managed. It teaches you routines and how to prioritize. Night shift is a LOT more relaxed. Things happen yes but its no where near as busy as a day shift. You are going to pick up a lot of good habits and management skills from day shift so that when you go to nights youll just be that much more prepared for anything thrown your way <3 Youll be fine. Just absorb the experience and take it with you to your new shift! Youll do great!

Management likes to keep an eye on you as well, and you know they don't work nights, lol.

I've always worked permanent nights, but when I was training I had more day shifts. You learn more on days.
