   Shift Work Disorder is Eating My Brain

   A.M. Wolf replied to A.M. Wolf's topic in General Nursing

   I did do a search but could not locate anything that I found useful, but perhaps I just wasn't looking right. My problem is that even on eveningshift my body is still on dayshift sleep schedule and I lie awake at 4 am as though I had to get up for a ...

   Shift Work Disorder is Eating My Brain

   A.M. Wolf replied to A.M. Wolf's topic in General Nursing

   I'm going from dayshift to eveningshift. Usually 2 to 3 days followed by 2 to 3 evenings. My problem is that when I go from days to evenings, my nights sleeping after evenings I still wake up at 4 am and can't get back to sleep again.

   What should I do first

   A.M. Wolf replied to Big_Mike's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, first things first. DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN. Humans are an invasive species by every definition, we do not need more help destroying the planet. My feeling that if you did "start a family" you will be less likely to pursue nursing school. Children...

   People are telling me that I should not tell people that I want to be a Nurse

   A.M. Wolf replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

   I am not sure. Health care can be a passive aggressive environment, so it might be best to keep your long term career goals just to your friends and family. Competitive? It is competitive, depending upon the school, to be admitted to a nursing progra...

   Having a hard time finding a part time CNA job

   A.M. Wolf replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in CNA/MA

   That's a tough one. I can't think of any CNA position that would meet those requirements. I often forget what actual day of the week it is because my schedule is all over the place. Is it possible to temporarily stop being a CNA to focus on school? I...

    As health care providers, we should always take a humanist perspective and believe in people as people for people. As human understanding grows and changes, so must society along with it. And as the great David Lo Pan said, "You were not brought upon...

    Getting a CNA job with a misdemeanor

    A.M. Wolf replied to dremenbig1's topic in Criminal

    I'm not going to ask what exactly you were doing, but it's very very important that we are always on our best and most careful behavior at all times. We cannot afford any criminal charge. That being said, have you spoken to a lawyer about your charge...

    Reporting nurses

    A.M. Wolf replied to SuperCNA100's topic in CNA/MA

    That's a tough one. Maybe you could stick up for the residents in a non-confrontational way? Something like, "Oh now Nurse So-and-So, I know you don't mean that! Mrs. Distinguished Resident is a proud of his Japanese heritage!" Mocking residents is n...

    Please help... Am I on the right path?

    A.M. Wolf replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    1) You can do anything as a hobby, such as writing. If it's a hobby that takes off, good. But it should remain a hobby until then. 2) Be sure that you always have a supply of condoms ready. USE THEM. 3) I wish you greatest success in nursing school! ...
