This is a subject that makes me nervous about becoming an RN next year and getting my first job. I hear that the only ones available are night shifts. I have a sleep disorder and I fear that if I must do such shifts, especially in the beginning, I will ruin my reputation as a nurse by not being able to adjust/get enough sleep possibly causing me to call in sick often or make an error in judgment. I'm not being dramatic, I really do have serious sleep issues. I thought there was such a nursing shortage that I would be able to get a day shift, no problem. What's the truth?
