Hi ladies. I've been mostly a lurker on this board for the past 15months. I think his is my first time posting here. But I really need some input/info/advice.
I've just been offered a full time RN position. Five nights a week, 11p-7A. Really, the shift is the worst part about it. Everything else about this job is awesome, and as a new grad RN I would be stupid to turn it down. But I'm having horrible anxiety already about a daily schedule. DH and I have already decided that we will utilize daycare for DD. I will need more than just napping when she does, especially as I'm lucky to get a two naps out of her anymore.
I'm curious as to how others who work this shift make it work with their LO's. When do you sleep? When do you see LO or DH?
My first thought is this: DH will take DD to daycare in the morning. I come home and sleep 6-8hrs. I will pick DD up around 3-4. Then just spend that time with her until she goes to bed around 8. I will leave for work around10/1015.
That sounds like the easiest maybe? But I'm curious as to how others do it.
TIA!!
