Hello all! I recently accepted a new position in case management at a local company. I've been working night shift bedside from about 3 years. I've grown very used to the night shift routine with sleeping and going about my life. I'm finding it difficult to get back to a "normal" sleep schedule. I'll get these random bursts of energy at 3AM and can't sleep. Does anyone have advice on how to tackle getting back to a normal sleep schedule? Also did anyone miss bedside nursing after working in Case Management? Another thing... I told my family and friends about the good news of my position. My friends were very supportive and understanding as to why I'm leaving bedside, but my family is convinced I'm not a nurse anymore because I'll be working in an office. I told them nurses can wear many hats but the aren't convinced. Any advice on this issue? Thanks!!!!
