Hi there! I am seeking your wisdom in transitioning for the first time to a night shift! I will be completing a evening shift of 1500 - 2315h on friday and will be going in Monday for 2300 to 0715h. Can you please advise me on what I can do to prepare my sleep schedule for this transition!

Thank you icuRNmaggie! Very helpful response.

I am presenting a power point in a few days to my classmates on chest tubes. One area of topic is assessments. I know what to assess the chest tube chamber for, but what if a nurse walked into the patients room and the chest tube was out or not working, what would be the best thing to do and what proceeds that until the patient has the chest tube in again? Also if you have anything to add related to chest tubes that you feel is important for students to know, please comment! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I am a nursing student and I chose to do a presentation next week on chest tubes. Our instructor is marking us on the metaparadigms (client, environment, health and nurse) related to the topic of choice. Because chest tubes is a topic where I am in need of learning (hence why I chose thus topic!), I am wondering from you nurses who have experience are able to help me out with the metaparadigms! Your help will forever be appreciated.
