and Hobbs (2006), argued that modifying external factors such as diet and exercise, the amount of shifts worked consecutively, and the food and beverage intake patterns will reduce the negative health effects associated with shift work on nurses. Some of the main topics that the researchers focused on are: 1. Basis for biological rhythm The circadian rhythm is affected for nurses working the shift work. The study mentions that the biological rhythm consists of the external rhythm which covers meal

Day shift vs. Night shiftAs nurses pursue their careers, they are often faced with the challenge of picking what shifts to work. Both day and night shifts have their own advantages and disadvantages and so when choosing a shift many factors are put into consideration. Night shifts have physiological effects to the body. One of these effectsis due to the disturbances in the circadian rhythm. A bundle of cells in the anterior hypothalamus,known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus,function as the pacemaker

Clay-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol The product collected from the first experiment was a colorless low viscosity liquid. The theoretical yield of this experiment (Figure 1.) was calculated to be 100.2 mmol (8.221 g). The actual yield of product collected was 11.28 mmol (0.9273 g) which gave an 11.31% yield. The ¹H NMR spectrum of the cyclohexene product (see Appendix A) displayed two resonance signals at (in ppm): δ = 7.04 (s, 4H), 3.75 (s, 4H), 3.02 (s, 2H). Table 1. Data collected from

station clerk or a waitress at an all night truck stop. To more physically and at times mentally strenuous jobs like a first responder that works a twenty four hour shift and is on call all night or a construction worker who has to tear up and repave a road when it's less traveled at night. Regardless of the job, working a rotating shift or one where it requires someone to respond to calls in the middle of the night, they all have one thing in common, the person has an increased rate of missing out

January 31 – February 6 Week four at Wild Dunes began on Sunday with three evening shifts 3-11PM. Sunday, the 31st was extremely slow with very few arrivals. I was able to concentrate on one of my goals – mastering the complex computer system. Being the perfectionist that I am, it is frustrating when I feel as though I haven’t mastered a skill so I’m working on that aspect of my personality. Since the shift was so slow, I was released early on this Sunday as there were no arrivals due in at the

where the deterioration of this desire comes in is when they feel their efforts and accomplishments are not appreciated or acknowledged. This can be seen when looking at different shifts in a work place. The second shift may be twice as productive as the first shift. Why is this? Well one reason could be because the second shift supervisor does a much better job of motivating his/her employees, which usually consists of showing appreciation and acknowledging their hard work. According to Bune (2015),

and nurses are given enough time to recuperate from prior shifts. The ANA has made recommendations to nurses and employers to combat this problem. Nurses are suggested to receive 7-9 hours of sleep in a conductive sleeping environment, take account commute to work prior to accepting a job offer, as well as alternative transportation to and from work such as taxi bus, car pooling. As for the employers, limit work weeks to 40 hours, work shifts to 12, and utilize predicable schedules so nurses plan accordingly
