Just got the phone call. See you guys in August!

Just got the invite for an interview. March 12th. Coming from Utah. Anyone else interviewing that day?

I just began Zoloft a week ago and am in the middle of a month of night shifts. The issue I've had is that I get home from my shift, take my Zoloft, then go to sleep and wake up an hour later, unable to sleep any more. The first time this happened it combined with a bit too much caffeine from the shift before and when I awoke my brain was a foggy, anxious mess and I felt like I was being possessed (NOT the feeling that I'm usually aiming for). Gratefully, that feeling left once I cleared all of that caffeine. I'm wondering if anyone for whom Zoloft increases their wakefulness (or straight-up causes insomnia) has ever tried taking it shortly before their night shift and, if so, has it helped to stay awake during the night and to rest during the day? Would it mess with the body too much to take an SSRI at different times of the day or would that likely be masked by the fact that working nights wreaks havoc on the body anyway? One more reason that I ask is I'm wondering if the serotonin increase would just be turned into melatonin during the night, causing me to be even more drowsy during my shift (serotonin being a precursor to melatonin, The Pineal Gland and Melatonin).

I'm in my final semester of nursing school and currently preparing a resume. As I look at all of the example nursing resumes that Google can show me I'm noticing a trend: they are all conservative to the point that they would make an Amish Elder drool with envy. Zero color and zero deviation from one to the next. Is this a requirement? If I had a couple of red bars on my resume would I be shunned from all nursing circles? Would the head of hiring consider me a clown? Would my resume be fed to the shredder (metaphorically, of course, because everything is digital now)? Most importantly, would I fail to get a job because my resume looks slightly more interesting than those around it? Or would it help me to get an interview because it stands out? Is there a way to make it stand out while still following the rules? I'm clearly biased one direction, but I'll take your criticism. I would especially love it if one of you that has been in charge of the hiring process could give me some input. If it really won't help, I will abandon all unnecessary formatting and attempt to blend in with every other resume. The right job is more important than my ego.
