I worked 7p-7a for three years and at first loved it but as time went on it started ruining my life. I gained a ton of weight, was very depressed and never felt like I had good sleep. I took OTC sleeping pills and they stopped working after awhile. I know how you are feeling. Nothing is worse than laying in bed knowing you have to work that night and not being able to fall asleep. I now work 7a-7p and love it, I feel like I got my life back. To me the money wasn't worth it, the way I was physically feeling was more important to me. Have you ever tried Valarian Root? I've heard that is suppose to be good. I wish you luck and good sleep!!

It's what you think will fit your lifestyle better. I worked 7p-7a for almost 3 years and would never work nights again. Some people love it but for me it was not the answer. I have said before that no matter what the pay would be,I would never work nights again. Good luck to you with whatever decision you make.

No there isn't a union where I work, all the more why I can't understand why she still is working here.

I have tried just about everything with her. Honestly I don't know what else to do. If I try talking to her in nice way it still does not help matters. I have even tried to ignore some of the things she does just because it won't help if I do talk to her. It is almost like talking with a seven year old. We only work weekends so my nurse manager is not there to see all that goes on.

When I say that everyone agrees with me, I mean other nurses have had the same complaints about her. About a year ago she was sent to counseling for her attitude and that didn't change things a bit.

I've been having issues with a Nursing Assistant for almost a year now. I work as a charge nurse in a hospital and we work together a lot. My nurse manager is aware of the issues that I have but seems to be doing nothing about it. I am tired of going to work and having to deal with her...I've had enough. I get along with everyone I work with including other Nursing Assistants. This NA is unprofessional,complains about everything,takes long breaks and is not a good team player. I am not the only one who feels this way just about everyone of my floor agress with me.Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should do?
