  2. Working night shift, difficulty sleeping during the day!

    Yeah, I have the same problem. Always wake up in the middle of the night on my 1st night off even though I'm exhausted. Sometimes I take one 5mg melatonin & two 25mg benadryls. That does help. If I wake up, I stay in bed & read with a booklig...
  3. Working night shift, difficulty sleeping during the day!

    Ok, I'm having difficulty sleeping on my nights off. Anyone else having this problem? I am rarely sleepy on my 12 hr night shifts. I am home and in bed by 0800 and sleep until 1600. I use blackout curtains, loud box fan and also keep my eyes closed i...
  4. Which scrubs shrink? Grey's anatomy/Cherokee/etc. ?

    I have a pair of Cherokee Core Stretch scrubs and I love them! Super soft & just the right amount of stretch. They are a bit snug right out of the dryer but they stretch a lot by the end of a shift. I probably should've gone a size down in the pa...

  11. Question about WSSU Accelerated

    Hey there. WSSU didn't tell us our class average GPA so I really don't know. I was never sure if they were looking our overall GPA or our prerequisite GPA. Or maybe they look at both. You can check with Ms. Garrison in the nursing office for more inf...

    You definitely need the textbook (potter & perry), the skills lab book, and the APA book. Not sure ErinJane1 - you'll just have to wait & see. Sorry, that's not what you wanted to hear.
