Hope everything works out! Congrats on graduating school and I hope you hear good news :)

I hope things have gotten better since writing this post. I wish I had a lot of great advice for you but the only thing I can think of off the top of my head would be trying AA/NA again. If anything one or two meetings shouldn't hurt. Even if you really feel like it won't help you might at least meet one or more people who could offer some great advice. You can share as much or as little as you want. I'm not even really that familiar with NA/AA but it's likely some of the people may have a lot more resources for you in addition to that support group. Even if what I suggested doesn't help I at least wanted to say I wish you the best. Keep your head up :)

I was wondering if someone would mind explaining what you mean by low census. I know what the word census means but the different ways I have seen it used have confused me a little. I think I know what some people mean but even if the number of patients may be low in a hospital at a given time you still can't be sure the number could not go up significantly. I may be over thinking this but hopefully I don't sound stupid. Based on my question it's probably clear I am not yet a nurse :)

Congratulations on graduating and getting a job! I have yet to even start nursing school but am already a little nervous/worried about getting that first job. I'm also quite the night owl sometimes but have never worked a night shift doing anything. I'm obviously not very well prepared to adequately answer your question but look forward to hearing others responses. Thanks for the post and congrats again :)
