I love seeing black girls educated and getting paid 👏👏👏

Hey Michele! 25 year night shift nurse here. Praying that nightshift will be good to you and allow you to do all you need! I’m also a believer. 🙏🏻 You are a blessing and I just want to say thank you for this video and message! Love your channel! 💜

[@His_ChristieRose]

Bible time is always always the answer. Dr. Tony Evans is definitely an amazing teacher. Thank you for sharing sis.

[@DaGem523]

I came across your channel for a reason.. I needed that “Bible Talk” message! 🙌🏾 I’m an night shift nurse for the last 2 years and I’m ready to go back to days 😭

[@topgirltutt8750]

I love to talk about my king JESUS ✨ love a great word 📖 and nice work badge 🪪 and your coffee 🧋looked good

[@Micheleschoice]

yess

[@nekajones7416]

As a night shift ICU nurse I can relate with needing a little help staying asleep. I use a weighted blanket and keep the room slightly below 70 degrees . I try and go to sleep by 9-930am and if I’m able to stay asleep till 1pm I feel accomplished. I also turn on rainstorms or waves that stream from KZbin and that blocks out any unwanted noise .

[@Flagsforworship82]

Hey girl!! I love watching your videos. I have been on night shift as an icu nurse for 14 years and as a veteran in the night shift game, my first night back I have to make myself rest and that means I’m not up and about doing any and everything. I purposely rest and sleep all day I don’t meal prep (that is done the day before) I don’t even get out of my pajamas until it’s time to get ready for work. My first day back is literally my “rest day”. Laundry, uniform prep and cleaning the house is done the day before my first day back to work. I work all 3 of my days in a row. Good luck to you in this new adventure!! Finding your flow to make night shift work for you is the hardest part ❤️

[@His_ChristieRose]

I am about to start my first night shift job. I needed this. It sounds like the routine I am going to lean towards.

[@angelarobinson5261]

First time watching. My daughter is in college to be a nurse! I absolutely love the Bible talk!

[@Micheleschoice]

Aww thank you for watching

[@farida1859]

Night shift squad here!! It’s definitely gonna take some time to get used to sleeping during the day. Try the caramel bed time tea from the brand Yogi. You can drink it once you get home & it helps you fall asleep & stay asleep.

[@raelenemarie7483]

Girrrrrl! I needed this bible talk!!! I’ve been struggling working full time as an LVN, school and just being unmotivated!! Thank you!! Hope your new contract works out for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰

[@LifeAroundMarion]

Hey girl! Congrats on the new job. I have been on nights most of my career and I love it. Can't deal with the craziness of day shift. You can do this! Best wishes. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@shewrt1143]

Ohhh the beauty of life as a nurse before kids or a family or you grow older...I work the night shift for my teens....its a different vibe...u r always running....but it's worth it.. salute to all the healthcare workers who work at night...

[@MVR912]

I have one and a half more semesters of nursing school left and am kind of going through a discouraging moment. So thank you for that reading! I needed to hear it! It was the perfect time for me to hear it. Love your video and the Bible Talk! Thank you!🥰

[@estherkissi6142]

Not sure how I landed here, but heyyyy boo! new subscriber. Showing love to my fellow Ghanaian babe 🥰 I’m not a nurse but my mom just retired from the NICU after 32 years doing the “graveyard shift” as she says. She still finds it weird to sleep at night since she retired the past 3 years. Showed her your video and she’s like “eiiii my daughter, welcome o” haha! ❤

[@nplyfe2227]

Hey Michele, night shift and weekend nurse here !!! Can not do dayshift drama! LOL!! Too much happening all day. I have 3 jobs, all prn and full time NP school. Its intense, but beneficial to spread the balance. Hang in there, and hey, maybe it will be temporary for the season youre in. Also, girl, if you dont stop that prepping food and waking up too early, and go to sleep! LOL, its imperative to establish a routine and get chores done on your days off, and just sleep and eat on your work days. Seriously, you will burn out if you dont. Take care!!!

[@Jess-cw9gi]

Sometimes melatonin will help me get sleepy but I will sleep with restlessness or repeatedly wake up. I found using it to be counterproductive to my sleep cycle. Congrats on the new job and good luck!

[@Micheleschoice]

i got that restless feeling when i took Benadryl, thank you so much !

[@Vee-yc5ht]

I remained on nights in the hospital while completing my RN, BSN, FNP & now during my post-masters program. It has its perks but those perks are diminished if you are not disciplined with self-care. I did one year of clinical during my FNP program and some days I left the clinic and went straight to work - rough. I don't plan on doing that for my post-masters clinicals. I am ready to get off night shift when this program is done. I plan on being away from the bedside during my doctorate program

[@Micheleschoice]

oh yeah i think nights is definitely better for school but wow your a super woman.

[@keepingitrealnaturalist5472]

We serve a wonderful savior, I love your bible talk.

[@jamu12]

First of all, it’s GIVING ✨ darling!! ❤ I’m loving the drip, hairstyle, and apartment cause it is making you glow like the sun ☀️ May all your dreams and nightshift be blessed. I am not a nurse but I have worked 12 hour shifts before and that nausea feeling is REAL. So glad you brought that up because I was thinking I was going crazy. Did it for 2 and a half years and what really helped was taking a shower before bed, eating something small, and blackout curtains!you got this girl and don’t let anyone tell you any different!🎉

[@camyajohnson8782]

I worked at amazon doing 10-11hrs shift and i understand where you are coming from when you said you felt sick i had to quit amazon due to me starting school next month for surgical tech and i'm so excited. I have plans on going back to school for nursing after i've been a surgical tech for sometime and I hope I can be a RN who works in the OR.

[@Micheleschoice]

Yeah that feeling sucks , you got this!! keep pushing

[@brittanynicholson2864]

When I get off in the morning, going to work out and eating a full breakfast while I watch a show. I don’t try to rush to go to sleep. I enjoy my morning like I would enjoy my evening if I got off at 7am

[@merkson241a]

Hey sis in Christ! Fellow ICU Night Shift RN here 🙋🏽‍♀️. Awesome video and loved the Bible Talk! Thanks for your encouraging video and stay blessed ❤

Hey Michele. Congratulations on the new job! I love when you do bible talk because it encourages me. You have the most gorgeous sunset views coming from your kitchen window.

[@Micheleschoice]

Aww im glad Mely!

[@KendraRN]

I know that feeling, the nauseated feeling. I had to drink ginger tea, made from fresh ginger through the night. I can’t do nights though.

[@His_ChristieRose]

Kendra! 😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KendraRN]

@@His_ChristieRose Night shift is not for the weak.😂

[@His_ChristieRose]

@@KendraRN i realy should reconsider this NICU offer. ☹️ Because by 8pm, this old lady is definitely weak.

[@KendraRN]

@@His_ChristieRose No stick with it. It’s a tough specialty to get in, so no please try. Everything is temporary. Drink lots of water, exercise and drink a cup of Matcha on your way into work. Good Luck sister girl, you got it!!!

[@His_ChristieRose]

@@KendraRN thank you love! You are one of my role models. I appreciate this.

I have worked nights for 30+ years. I couldn’t imagine working days. Congratulations on your new job 🎉🎉

[@itohanmercyadejobi5661]

I understand the nauseous feeling, it happens to me. I always make sure I brush my teeth both at night and in the morning, it helps me.

[@Micheleschoice]

yesss omg, i will remember that next time, thank you

[@alexzandrite5018]

I resonated with the message from your bible talk. It reached me. Thank you for sharing! God can renew what I thought had died. Amen.

[@MelaninZen]

Night shifter here. For me, I like to go home and shower then eat. Then I’ll either surf social media or catch up on my shows for an hour or two. That usually works for me. I’ll fall asleep and sleep great for at least 4-5 hours. It works so well that I don’t even really get sleepy at work. Well, not until like 4 and it’s crunch time then so it wakes me back up. I know this is an old video but hope that helps.

[@immaculatemokaya9948]

Love your vlogs Michele. Always encouraging/inspiring! I have always done day shift since I was a new grad & swore I would never do night shift lol...jokes on me...here I am now doing a night shift contract for the first time. Definitely a big adjustment, but, 3 weeks in & it's getting a bit better. Wishing you all the best & God's blessings in all that you do! 🥰

[@Micheleschoice]

Awww thanks Mokaya! i hope you're liking it! its definitely grown on me

Found your channel & relate to all the feelings about night shift. ICU travel RN as well and just took my first night shift contract in a hot minute. I just keep reminding myself it’s only 3 months & there are at least a few upsides to every shift

[@moniqueg.531]

Hey Michele!!! I work night shift. When u said ur taking an hr nap before ur first night shift I was like 😳. U definitely need more than that especially on the 1st night. On those nights I take melatonin gummies. Just 2mg to get me sleepy. But take it if u can get at least 4 hrs sleep. I find that I wake up with a headache if I get less sleep. Hope this helps!

[@mir3017]

Night shift is tough, and I applaud people to work nights. Unfortunately as a nurse, I have to cover nights sometimes and it is so tough for me . I need to sleep the whole day to recover from a 12 hours overnight shift, so why bother.😂😂

[@Micheleschoice]

haha night shift is not for the weak

[@amandaoser7200]

I love the prismaflex! It is very user friendly and prefer that over the Nx stage! Good luck and welcome to the dark side 😜

i have one as well! hmm hopefully we adjust soon

[@donnaindigo]

To be honest, I don’t think I could go back to night shift full time due to the stress it puts on your body. For me, I gained weight my sleep was off and I was very irritable. As my kids got older that’s when I went to working days and I don’t regret it. Since I am an agency nurse, I will pick up a night shift every once in a while. Good luck!

[@brianaalston4145]

Night shift is when the stars come out. You have to be a night person to work the night shift if you have a good group of people working night shift with you that makes a difference plus you literally train your body to function strictly off of adrenaline and not so much as rest or sleep. (CNA 18yrs, 15 yrs night shift).
