    chrisrn24 replied to EMEddie's topic in General Nursing

    I work straight overnights, part time. What helps - before you go in for a shift, take a nap before or if you can't fall asleep, lie in bed and just breathe. Grab a coffee if you like that (I swear by...

    Your posts make you "seem" crabby. Apologies for the word "sound." Look, I'm not trying to insult you all. But you genuinely sounded VERY burned out and you would do yourselves, as well as countless...

    chrisrn24 replied to Lynn52's topic in General Students
