Wonderful article! I am not a nurse, only a CNA. I work at one of the local hospitals. When I first got hired on, it was for 3-11 Mon.- Fri. Off on weekends! Sounds great, doesn't it? I did that for about a year, and it nearly killed me! I was exhausted, which in turn made me stressed, tense and turned me into a real bear almost. I felt like I lived there! Long story short, I had an opportunity to work 7p-7a Sun thru Tues, and I love it!. Having 4 days off, is wonderful! By the way, I work the Med/Surg floor.

I also work the ortho unit! The med/surg unit! And it can get crazy busy up there!

I am a CNA who started a new job at a local hospital about 2 months ago. New shift(3pm-11pm), which is a huge shock to the system. New routine, the whole 9 yards, so to speak! And I love the job! Most nights, I am constantly going! And I like that! But by the time that the end of the week comes along, I am exhausted! How do I change that? Are there any tips that I can try? I will welcome any and all advice!:)
