hi everyone,
i am a new grad (graduated aug, 2010) who will be a charge nurse on the 11-7 shift. i am the only rn there with 5 aides. i am nervous and, freaking out about the "what if's" and i have many questions.....and here they are:
1. how will i stay up during that time?
2. how will i fall asleep when it's time for me to?
3. what does the night shift nurse do?
4. will i be able to function during the day on a off day? (i'm young and still want to have some personal time)
please if you could give me your night-shift experience or any words of advice would be great!!
