  19. Rotating Shifts

    I will be starting my new job on the Observation Unit on rotating shifts very soon. How do you cope with the constant change in sleep schedule, how do you keep yourself sane, and how do you balance...
  20. New Grad in Fargo, ND

    Fargo area apartments are extremely reasonable. My fiance and I are looking at 600-800 for a two bedroom, with three bedroom not too much more. It is when you get out further west that you would run...
