To all nurses and future nurses: I have this crazy situation and I don't know what to do. In April 2008, I started working on this general floor. I did days for 4 weeks and now I am on midnights. Days were crazy and hard for me but I could handle the day schedule (as far as waking up early and getting off at 7) I am now on midnights and I love how it can be slower but have a hard time with the sleep schedule. So I feel bad because it is only 2nd day on midnights, however, I sleep till 4 pm on my off days. I feel depressed and bummed because I am sleeping when the rest of the world is awake. Reminder this is only my 2nd day of working midnights ever. I work homecare on the side and i like it (I was just a contractor and worked only 1 pt or 2 pt per week). My boss just offered me to work 2 partime "days" on home care where I would see 10-15 pts. So, I would be doing 2 day, 12 hr midnights also on the floor. I really want to work homecare fulltime but I don't think anyone would hire me right now.....My current homecare place doesn't offer benefits, so that is why I work at the hospital. I have only been a nurse since I passed my boards in Feb. Please help! THanks!
