Nursing in New Generation

MODERN NURSING:

New nurses tend to move forward and create things that are more useful and advance in term of health care managements.It is very appreciated now a days that new nurses tend to over come new challenges as the world has a fast changing planet.

Modern Nurse provides the following helpful tips for successful “day sleeping:”
• Keep the room as cool and as dark as possible with blackout shades or heavy drapes – the darker, the better.
• Use a fan, humidifier, or air cleaner to muffle the sounds of the day.
• Wear a sleep mask and use earplugs.
• Maintain a consistent sleep schedule, either immediately after or before work.
• Plan for at least eight hours of sleep.
• Take a warm bath to wind down when you get home.
• Avoid nicotine and caffeine for the last several hours of your shift (easier said than done).
• Avoid heavy meals and spicy foods that might cause heartburn and gas.
• Limit what you drink several hours before your shift ends so you don’t repeatedly have to get up to go to the bathroom.
• Lie still, consciously slow your breathing, systematically relax your muscles from head to toe, and visualize yourself falling deeper and deeper into sleep.
• Use a short-acting sleep medication (if prescribed) as a last resort only.
