[nursemeow]

HI Jersey guys and gals! Ok I start my extern at DEBORAH Heart and Lung in a few weeks. However, it is 7pm-7am and I am getting nervous. I have a 5 year old and a husband who works 6:30-3:30... does anyone have any advice for preparing for this sched... it's 3 nights but I hope I'm not gonna be stuck on this sched. all week. How does one prepare for this. I grad in December thank GOD.. Who said 2 years??? I'm going on my 4th year with pre-req's and all. Any words from the wise would be wonderful for a new 7pm-7am shift.. thanx !!

All I can tell you is darken up your rooms windows and remember to get the much needed sleep. Good luck!
