Now that I have some down time, what nursing stories book would you recommend?
One of my favorite books is "Josie's Story: A Mother's Inspiring Crusade to Make Medical Care Safe" by Sorrel King. It's not written by a nurse but by a mother whose daughter died due to a medical error. As a medical professional, it was a very moving read.

The first day off after 12's
I tend to work 16 hour shifts and I know that feeling well. Make sure you invest in some great shoes, exercise on your days off and stay hydrate through out your shift. Those are a few things that have made a difference for me. However, I always plan a lounging about or easy day after my 16 hour shifts, especially if I work two in a row. It's alright to take some time for yourself to rest and recover. Take care of yourself.

I feel a little silly asking this...RN to BSN Title
Hello, I am currently in my last semester and I am excited to say that I will have my BSN this December. With that said, I don't know how to add my new title to my name. Should it be Name RN, BSN or Name BSN, RN. I have seen nurses on my floor use both. Thanks for your thoughts!
