The care teams working in the intensive care unit (ICU) most often practice on twelve-hour day-night cycles. Collaboration is close and regular, with a high level of trust shared between the professionnals to ensure the often complex care required by the patient's condition. While ICU practice is of great interest to caregivers who make it their specialty, it can also become less attractive over time due to the physical, family and social constraints of night work.
