Prepping for MY First Night Shift At A Hospital

[@leah5923]

So impressed you’re pursuing a career other than social media. It’s a lot of work, but you’ve got this!!

[@PiccoloGrandeCoro]

im so impressed some youtubers actually get that there's a life after social media. youtube/instagram/tiktok isn't forever, but a career as a doctor is. good on you kamri!

[@leah5923]

@@PiccoloGrandeCoro It’s very cool. I know that if I was born into a wealthy family, and had something like social media to fall back on, it would be very hard for me to try for a career like medicine. Or any career for that matter.

I remember my first 24 hrs shift, I was so nervous but so excited, I learned so many things but i ended being super tired because I could not sleep at all since there were 3 surgeries and one of them was over 3 hrs long, definitely exhausting but worth it. You are going to do great, its going to be tough but you are going to learn so much :)

Kamri this is AMAZING please film more about your journey. Even if you're just studying for an exam or getting ready like this video but THIS content is everything

[@LiKelyGaming]

Our night shifts are from 6:45 pm - 6:45 am. Most of them are workful and in a rush - so great that you won‘t get really tired. I try to sleep 2/4 am - 11am/1 pm on the day before. After the night shift I sleep from 10 am - 1 pm most of the times. The following nights are not really good- but after about 2-3 following days I‘m right back on track with my sleep cycle.

[@bailey1127]

the best way to get patient care experience during undergrad is to work as a CNA/ patient care tech!! Some hospitals require the CNA certification but many don’t. I did this during nursing school and it gave me the best exposure and so much knowledge that when I started as an RN I had so much less to learn compared to those who ONLY did Clinicals and shadowing. Actually having your own patient load reaches autonomy and time management and I can’t recommend enough

[@SH.17]

i’m planning on being a certified medical assistant after hs during undergrad. (in order to become a PA-C) would you say it’s better for me to be a CNA or MA

As someone who works the night shift (which is 12 AM to 8 AM) at a hospital with a break just under 2-hours mid-shift, melatonin and sleep are a must. And there is no such thing as a slow shift at a hospital, even though I work in the hospital lab (with 3 people in the lab).

[@Ashwariya_raj]

soo happy for you , kamri , definitely want to see more

[@Katie.2000]

Long shifts aren’t bad when you’re doing something you love and it’s a steady pace. I once had a 13 hour shift in the ICU where I did literally nothing. It was awful just sitting there. But on the other hand, I did a 12 hour shift in the NICU (where I plan on working) and it flew by. I wish I was working this summer! I’m going into my last semester of nursing school so I’m jealous of your opportunity🤪

[@AEMoreira81]

Sometimes it can be chaotic though, even in the lab (where shifts are supposedly 8 hours, but as hospitals are short on lab techs, one rarely works just 5 days a week). I'm also interested in Kamri's journey with STEM.

[@CharleneWoelk]

Night shifts get harder as you get older especially if you are just working nights but living with people who work days. That was my biggest issue with nights. Having people expect you to be awake when your body is forced to do the opposite. When your younger it's not bad, the best thing I found was fool your body into thinking 9pm is 9am. Like do your regular morning routine before you would go to work, eat breakfast and eat a lunch on shift but keep it lighter and then same when you get home at 7am, make your body think it's 7pm, eat supper and do your regular evening routine. If you normally go to bed at 9 or 10 pm try and stay up until that in the morning. This is what I found worked best for me as I worked nights for 18 months straight. And I would try to somewhat maintain that schedule on my days off. You won't have a social life. But eventually your body will tell you that nights aren't going to work and you be forced to switch to work a regular schedule or to flip to a rotational schedule which is common is hospitals anyways.

@@c4ordchick Thank you and congrats to you too! I used Uworld to prep for NCLEX. I really, really liked it! The set up is almost identical to the actual NCLEX interface. I would do sets of 75 questions at a time and just not let myself go back on a question, just like the real test. Make sure to read the rationales, even if you get the question right! It's good to know specifically why each answer choice was wrong! I studied for about a month before testing and that worked for me. Some of my classmates rave over Mark Klimek, Registerednursern, and the simple nursing videos. I'm not much of an auditory learner so I didn't go that route, but I know it's super helpful for others!
