Hey all of you super human nurses... Any tricks on how to get by those long 16h shifts? I'm a new graduate working on a cardio floor in a big teaching hospital and I've got some nasty 16h shifts comming up ( quite many ) ... What are your tricks to ...

Found another trick to surviving 16h... Habing a fruit shake with milk yogurt and a lil mapple sirup accompanied with mixed nuts... And also to change underwear and socks mid way through the shift

I love my cardio wing....we get patients with heart failiure, post cardiac arrest nstemi, stemi, pts with chest pains under investigation, pre-op for heart surgery... We also get the occasionnal ortho surgery cases and internal med like new diabetes,...

My first day of clinicals it took me 5 hours to go into the patients room... I skiped all her morning meds until noon cuz i was way too afraid of taking her vital signs...once i get the currage ( and my teacher literly pushong me in with the machine)...

THEY CALLED ME IN AGAIN FOR A 16h shift and i work a 16h shift wed n they wanted me to do another one today... They crazy or what! Am I the only one working in that hospital?

Just came back from one hecktic evening shift and a calm nighg shift... 16 hours but it wasnt as bad... I used a few of your tricks... Find time to pee... Stay hydrated and eat aroubd 3h30... All that helpes and i also planned all my stuff in advance...

For example i work saturday 2/2 sunday 2/3 monday 2/4 16h so i sleep all day tuesday ... Then i work wed 6/2 thurs 7/2 friday 8/2 16h shift... Off saturday night sunday also... Kinda crazy right???

Thanks for the advise and tricks... If you guys have more ill gladly try them! Who else works those extra shifts just for the money cuz seriousely they are terrible!

Thnks ill keep that in mind but isnt it hard to prepare when you are working the evening shift 4 to 00 everyday before that?

Yeah well its pre schedualled for a few nights not a long term thing but i think that in the next weeks i have about 7 or 8 comming up... About one double shift every few days and they call me everyday to make more doubles( i think they wanna kill me...
