Friday night clinicals really mess me up.

Last night I went to the hospital for my clinical at 6pm.

I left the floor at 2am and had post conference until 2:30am.

Being tired all day, I was just hoping that I wouldn't drop dead asleep before post conference and that I could make it through, but at 1:45am I got my second wind.

I went to Macey's at 2:45am to pick up essential things like milk, bread, paper towels, and Halloween candy.

When I arrived home at 3am, Jesse surprisingly wasn't completely comatose, so I told him all about my night.

By about 3:30 I was settling into bed and trying to fall asleep.

I didn't wake up until almost Noon and was fairly useless all day.

And then I felt exhausted again tonight by 8pm, and napped until 9pm.

Ugh. I just wish I could stay awake long enough to get something done today. These night clinicals are killing me!

  1. Oh man, night shifts are rugged! I'm pretty sure they permanently ruined my Dad's sleep patterns... I feel for you. Hope the night clinical come to a swift end. Just remember, you're almost done, and then you'll be a Nurse! With a real job! All those chem classes will be worth it! Huzzah!
