Understaffing

Hello everyone I’m about 2 months in to my new job at the hospital. Management has restructured our schedule, there used to be ppl who worked 7 days of 10hr shifts and then 7 days off and 4 tens and 5 eights. Now they are making everyone do 5 eights except night shift who will be doing only 4 tens with roaring days off. I’m on night shift and at first I didn’t really see an issue with it, fast forward to today we have had multiple ppl on night shift quit or move to day shift now it is only going to be me and one of other person from now on which means on our days off one person will be alone. I will be by myself on night shift tmr and will be in charge of the whole department I’m still in my training period and I feel extremely overwhelmed and anxious. They told me to do my best and not stress but how can I not stress I will be alone the whole night! I honestly love my coworkers it’s just management just forgets about us and leaves us drowning. Idk how to feel should I stick it out for a few months or should I find another place that might have a little better staffing?
Thanks for hearing me vent.
