Rotating Shifts

[wonderbee, BSN, RN]

Things are coming together nicely. I'm accepting an offer from a major medical center to work in their neuro/trauma ICU. Thing is I'll have to do rotating shifts. Being single and having no one else's schedule to worry about, my only concern is how this body is going to adjust.

Anyone else doing the rotating shift dance? Can you share with me your experiences and what helps?

Well, I have no advice to give you! I too am going to be doing rotating shifts...my shifts will rotate weekly, so one week days one week nights. Not too bad. But I have a 2 year old, so we'll see how it goes. hopefully someone has some pointers
