I know this sounds silly, but try not to sit around and chit chat with other nurses, just focus on your work. I see that a lot, and they always have to stay over and do paperwork.

TRY, and i do say try....to treat it in four hour blocks....try to do the paper work "as you go"....and remember that nursing is a 24 hour job.....
