After two years of working night shifts, I'm exhausted. My sleep routine is messed up, my relationships are hurting, and I'm just about over it. Day shifts won't be available on my current unit anytime soon. Has anyone been able to obtain regular hours by changing specialties? I don't want to put myself in a dead-end situation, though.

I went from nights on a stepdown unit to clinic nursing. The pace is different, but my relationships and sleep improved fast. You can always go back to bedside if you want.

I switched into case management and saved my sanity and health.

I’m currently a third year in my small firm’s life sciences team. I’m not really stimulated by the work and although they say they have a lot of work, they’re not good at managing workload. I haven’t had much work on my plate even after asking many times for more than six months. I’m ready to move to a larger law firm. However, I am concerned how I’ll manage the workload as a mom to a toddler. The good thing about my firm is that they’re flexible with hours. Anyone have experience balancing?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
