    falling asleep during nightshift

    klone replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    As a manager, I prefer to take a "don't ask;don't tell" approach. I worked night shift for years, I know it's hard. On slow nights, it's really hard. As long as the patients are being taken care of,...

    I agree. Thank a person. Preferably in front of others. I'm a huge believer in the trickle-down effect. Treat the people you work with respectfully and be kind. If everyone just does that one simple...
