Nightshift nursing

[tarheel22]

So many nightshift questions! How common is it that new grad residencies only offer rotating shifts or fully night shifts? And for those who have started nightshift nursing, how do you minimize the associated health risks? And for people who have a well-established "normal" sleep schedule, would you recommend rotating shifts or fully night shift? Is it harder to flip back and forth or do the weeks on day shift help with recovery?

They offer it all the time! Good luck!
