On my floor we have staff meetings once a month around 2 or 3 pm where night and day shifts are present..night shift has the option of calling in on a meeting phone or just getting the notes at a later date. There is a lot of blame game but also good issues that come up and a solution agreed on. All in all it improves care on my floor and gets all the nurses on the same page.

Ive been working nights and I pretty much don't sleep anymore...I nap (occasionally). My max time awake is 48 hours and my eyes start to play tricks on me right around 36 as well (and I slurr my words). I try to get 4-5 hours of sleep before a shift but usually end up with only 2-3 if i worked the night before. When I have off the night before a shift I try to go to sleep early and just sleep till 5pm so I'm also very good at putting my self in a coma when able.

I felt the same way when I took it...It shut off at 75 and I thought I bombed it...was trying to look up questions...drove myself crazy...but I passed and just a heads up me telling you this won't make you feel any better because everybody kept telling me I passed...You can get you results online Friday morning

I use black out curtains so that its easier when I get to go to sleep
