Seriously, it is 2:30 am and I am bored out of my mind right now. Ugh! There is nothing moving out on the streets and nothing to do right now.

I can't wait to get off at 6 am so I can go home and sleep.

Hi Heave....

HeaveToo 06/15/2009

I was on permament 6p to 6a shift at my last job. This job I rotate between days and nights.

I hate evening shift though. It sucks.

Tomorrow I'm back on 11 to 7 at the nursing home. Never a slow night on the Special Care Unit. And only 4 of us to handle everyone...fun, fun, fun.

Well it keeps me awake anyway.

patti22 06/15/2009

Although, my problem is the reverse....

I've been having problems sleeping in the day when I get home.

What helps you guys?

HeaveToo 06/15/2009

Nothing helps me sleep. It is either feast of famine. I will get like 4-5 hours of sleep for a few days and then I will crash and get 8.

It seems like no matter how much sleep I get I still end up waking up feeling like I just got hit by a car or punched in the face.

patti22 06/15/2009

LOL...I understand the feeling.

Well I've never actually gotten punched in the face, but I have been through car accidents. Although I don't remember feeling all that bad after them....think I slept pretty well in the hospital...

So maybe I should disagree and say think is worse... oh well.

Hopefully in two years I'll be an RN in the ER and I'll get to make more comparisions...

oh patti that will be wonderful... fraid the only thing that lets me get 6 hours sleep in the day when i get off is 25 mg benedryl... but been on nights for so long now that i function with very little sleep.. thank god since sure don't get much lately with all this crap going on lol

deleted_user 06/15/2009

I can totally relate...I have worked the night shift from 7pm-7am for 5 years and then the 1st of May they stuck me on days 7am-7pm I have been on that for 6 weeks then we had a girl quit so now I have to go back to nights on Weds....and that is going to be hard because on Days there is a lot to keep me busy and not think about my seperatioin....but on nights I will not be busy and I will have lots of time to think....and probably Cry.....I am not looking forward to it....I can my husband (who left me) has agreed to come and stay all night w/ the kids when I am work...
