Night Shift Nursing

[@NurseBass]

Yes, yes, yes ma'am. I love it. I'm a Night Owl by nature so I can't wait to graduate and (hopefully) get a job on night shift. That Shift Differential isn't a bad thing either. :-D

I smoke some weed right after my night shifts. Puts me to sleep right away and leaves me refreshed for the next shift. :)

My dad was a cop he loved nightshift. Did it for years. Did you enjoy the people you worked with?

Do you stutter? I'm in nursing school and stutter too. Kinda scared to communicate with people over the phone or pager on the job :( what's your experience if you do stutter?

what is your advice on sleeping the night before you work night shift? I find it hard to stay up all night or even late the night before i work and I feel like if i sleep that night then i wont be losing another night of sleep and i can just wake up early eat breckfast take a shower and try to "sleep" before i have to get up to work. Then if its a two nights in a row i can home home shower and go to sleep 9- 5? Is that a good initial plan? i did my first night on tuesday slept half a day wednesday then slept all wed night and im back sat and sun night.. kind of trying to figure out a good sleep schedule ik its very individualized though :/ do u eventually figure out what works for you?

On the night before I work I usually try and stay up a little and then sleep in as late as possible to kind of jump start that night shift sleep pattern ( I work 3 12hr shifts in a row). On my last shift, usually a Sunday, I'll sleep 4-6 hrs then wake up for the rest of the day. By Sunday evening, I'm usually able to go to sleep at my normal bedtime (9pm-10pm).
