After 5 years of being the queen of sleep on nightshift, meaning I almost always got 8 hours of sleep on work days and 10hours on off days, I am NOT sleeping. My normal night shift life is home by 8am, asleep by 8:30a, awake by 4:30p, get up for work. When I get off and need to swap to days for my normal life I would sleep until 4:30pm get up eat breakfast. I would hang out with my husband when he got home from work at 5:30p, go to bed with him at 10:30p and sleep until like 5a or 6a the next am. Magically I was on dayshift, no problem. Now...I go to bed on work days at 8am I wake up at 11a, noon. Cannot go back to sleep. CANNOT sleep. Take OTC medication cannot sleep. Off days I wake up also after about 4 hours of sleep. And joy of all joys NO MATTER what I do to my sleep hygiene I wake up at 4am on off days, like wide awake. Since I work 7p to 7a this means I am up everyday from 4am to 8am. I am a walking zombie! I am now crowned queen of being too exhausted to do anything but lay in my dark bedroom not sleeping! Please help! Why did this happen all of a sudden to me??

Hi! I am looking for a good question bank with rationals for both the right and wrong answers. I have been directed to several sources, but have heard, for instance, that NCSBN doesn't give rationals for the wrong answers. Can you recommend which questions bank you liked and why? Thanks in advance!!

Thank you so much everyone for all of the helpful advice. I got objectives from my professor and learned that all test/quizzes/assessments come from the textbook. It was just really helpful to know that this should not be quick or easy for me. I will let you know how it goes!!

I need help!! I have always been a 4.0 student. My reading and studying(even in my pre-nursing courses) has always gone fairly quickly. Now, second week into Pathophysiology, I find that it is taking me hours upon hours to read(and really understand) one chapter of Patho. What happened? What am I doing wrong?
