   pitbullkcm replied to marilynmom's topic in New Nurse

   Hey guys! It's great to hear that everyone's doing well...despite all of those horror stories of nurses eating their young. I graduated May 16th and passed my boards on July 21st with 75 questions (still can't believe it!). I started just a week late...

   pitbullkcm replied to Mommyof2RN's topic in New Nurse

   Hey! I just started working nights last week and so far I love it. I'm a new grad living with a new fiancee, but I am childless (lol) so I can't exactly relate to your situation. I am currently working 3-12's. Before I started my first night shift I ...

   pitbullkcm replied to Medsport's topic in New Nurse

   Well...I'm a new grad, but I did a looooong clinical in the jail. Things can get very chaotic and it's sometimes easy to make little mistakes. In the jail setting...the smallest mistake can mean big disasters, but you were honest in the situation, an...

10. Night Shift?!?!

    pitbullkcm replied to pitbullkcm's topic in New Nurse

    I guess I'll do a search. I just hear so many horror stories about people putting on a lot of weight and not being able to function along with the rest of the world. With the 4 days that I do have off...should I maintain the "night shift" sleep sched...
