Re: Night Shift might be killing me

It's one of my biggest worries post-nursing school.
NIGHT SHIFTS. Haha.

I'm so particular about my schedule and I realize it's shunned.

But, I go to bed usually the same time every night. And my life, currently, is structured around a pretty detailed routine.

However, I did start out as a CNA doing 11PM - 7AM and basically (after hating it) tried to just rework my stuff. It was really hard and eventually my school suffered the most as a result. At that time, I was going MWF's to school starting at 10 am. So, I would basically nap after working 11-7. This was the period I weighed most (223 lbs).

I'm basically willing to move, wait, and anything else to get a shift that best suits my life how it is now.
