Hi there.
I just accepted a position as a new grad on a progressive care unit.
The shift is nights, 7-7 3 days a week. Its self-scheduled to an extent, proper staffing trumps all, but staff desires are accommodated wherever possible.
I'm looking for advice on:
1. Transitioning from my current 8 hours a day, only on Sat and Sun, retail job into my new 3 nights a week job.
2. Maintaining a life with my day working friends if at all possible.
My first day is July 13th (as I still need to take NCLEX, waiting on my ATT), so I have some time to prepare.
I'm planning on making my last day at my current job July 7th, so I will have a full week to adjust and prepare for my first day.
Any advice would be fantastic!!
