I did travel nursing after having some experience... Is it worth it to start travel nursing (and can you find jobs at all without experience) just after you graduate?
Hi! I'm a nurse here, and sometimes I have dreadful night shifts (three or four in a row). How do you all go back to being a living person after you've done many night shifts? I keep asking this question, yet I only feel tired for 5 days after many nights working; it feels like jet lag... any additional resources and research that you've actually applied and has worked?
Nursing routines are difficult. What's the best advice you got?
I wanna know what works best for all of you. I tried a goal of going to the gym, but didn't work out. I just feel tired after working, so I end up not going and leaving it for "next week."
Then I tried to go for a walk every day, and it was kind of working, started counting steps, but then I felt like I walked enough steps at work LOL
What is the best routine you've got and how do you sustain it over time?
Edit: This is a bit of my routine (though it feels like I don't have a routine) cause I do per diem jobs as well as working LTC regularly. So, I do long-term care for 6-8 hours near my home, and the facility tells me my schedule three or four weeks in advance. I also cover one night with them every two weeks. I have one day a week that I am just on call.
Apart from that job, I also do per diem shifts, which help me earn some extra money.
However, I'm not sticking to any workout routine. I have a 7-year-old, and sometimes just taking care of her feels like a workout routine LOL
I do the night shifts every two weeks. I used to only work night shifts for a while. How do you feel after one single shift? I think I'm getting old, cause I need to recover for two or three days after a shift now
