currently work the 11-7 am shift (per diem) as well and i find that it works in my familiar...only thing is it messes up my sleeping pattern since i also have a full-time day job.
I decided to take that route because most of the BSN school or ADN school in my area have a extremely long waiting list... at this point i don't regret it because i obtain some nursing experience and i can use it as a credit, once i decide to go back...
i have my MPA and then went back for my LPN.....i decided i wanted to get my foot in door and decided to get my LPN before my RN since my background is non-nursing.
i just finished my two week orientation at a local LTC in my area....rumors have it that my LTC is one of the hardest facility within the area. Next weekend, i will be on my own for the first time working the 3rd shift.....any advice????
i'm trying to learn as i go...i'm a brand new nurse working the 11 to 7 shift....its challenging but up for the challenge....i think the hardest part is gaining the cna's respect and support....how do i adjust?
yes, N95 mask for all airbourne precautions. for your second question regarding eye protectios, the answer would usually ask either or, never both...well let me take that back, i have yet to see both
i'm glad that it worked out for you...i will be in the same position within the next couple of weeks and i am bit nervous on what to expect.....i hope my experience mirrors yours.....you gave me hope!!!
that's what i hear that its pretty intense...i'm going to give it all i have. btw i signed up with the same agency are you still with them? lol at your comment about the staff...not surprised but that's everywhere..
