Thanks everyone I am gonna try to go after my shifts this week and see how I do. Also thanks for the disclaimer sjalv! LOL

I am new to the night shift and am having a difficult time trying to fit working out into my schedule! What is everyone else secret?!?!

Thank you so much! This helps a lot!

I am a new nurse in my first night shift job. When do you exercise? Before, After or in between your "naps". I need to do something I feel so weak lately. Thanks.

No she actually loves being the preceptor! Just belittling and condescending! It was a bad night I ended up saying something back to her and she changed her attitude. I don't want to cause waves but I a old (39) and don't have the patience for people who are supposed to be helping me, talking down to me. The CNA's say she's like that. She knows more than anyone.

New grand on sub acute rehab and my nurse that is orientation me is on a power trip! Ugh!

Does anyone have any recommendation on ear plugs? I can never find a good pair!!

Thanks everyone!!!

Thank you so much everyone!!! I appreciate all the advice. One stupid question... Why carry a little flash light?

I couldn't find any! How do I search them! Thanks!

Just took my first nursing position! And it's the night shift! How do you survive? How do you prepare? When do you sleep? Any advice would be great!!!

I have accepted my first position on the night shift. I start in 3 weeks. What do you do to survive the night shift? When you sleep? How do you prepare? What's your schedule like? Thanks!

I just accepted my first nursing job and it a night shift! I could use some advice on how to survive. How to you prepare? Or any advice in general! Thanks

I started looking into it and our cost in MI looks around 20-25k

1) MI 2) $22.85. $2.50 for nights new grad no experience 3) RN-ADN 4) Sub Acute Rehab

Great. Thanks for your help!

AnnieOB - thank you! That makes me feel a lot better. I just want to work and get experience. And I am glad that you made me feel better!!! I really really appreciate it!!!

Does anyone send thank you notes. If so, what do u say? I am trying to write one and have no idea what to say. Thanks.

I graduated in Dec2014 passed boards in Mar 2014. Moved several hours away to an area where I know No nurses! I have been applying for over a month (with a lot of rejection letter). I had an interview and received an offer from an sub acute floor in a long term facility. Is this going to brand me? Should I pass and wait for something better or take it knowing that I will still be looking? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
