    Ask Nurse Alice

    Health is personal. Healthcare is complicated. And sometimes you just need someone to help you make sense of it all.

    Ask Nurse Alice is where we talk about the health issues that actually affect your life, from the latest medical news and changing healthcare policies to prevention, medications, mental health, relationships, aging, caregiving, and the everyday choices that influence how you feel.

    Each week, Nurse Alice breaks down what’s happening in health and healthcare in a way that’s clear, relatable, and useful. What does that new study really mean for you? Should you be concerned about the health story everyone is talking about? What questions should you be asking at your next appointment? And how do you take better care of yourself when work, family, and life keep competing for your attention?

    You’ll hear candid conversations with experts, newsmakers, and celebrity guests, along with personal conversations about the parts of health we don’t always talk about enough. Nothing is off the table when it comes to helping you better understand your body, your health and the healthcare system you depend on.

    Some episodes will teach you something. Some will make you rethink something. Others may simply remind you that taking care of yourself deserves a place on your to-do list, too.

    Real talk. Real health. Real life.

    Ask Nurse Alice gives you the information, conversations, and practical takeaways to help you become a more informed and confident participant in your own health.

    TIPS FOR NIGHT SHIFT NURSES: I've worked nights for years, here's my best advice Aug 17, 2021
    Show notes

    When you work the night shift you have to adjust your life to meet the needs of your schedule. It's equally as important to learn to stand up for yourself. Here are Nurse Alice's best tips for working the night shift. Here's a peak at what I discuss in the podcast,
    1. Not everything has to revolve around work. Let's normalize having a conversation with whoever does the schedule and say, I have an appointment I need to go to and I would really like to move my schedule to accommodate it. My health and wellness are important to me.
    2. Don't commit to anything during the day because other people expect you to. My calendar is open during the day because I'm supposed to be asleep. A person who works the day shift wouldn't wake up at 3 am for a delivery. So if you worked a night shift, there's no reason you should wake up at 3 pm when you're expected to sleep.

    SHIFT WORKER SLEEP DISORDER: 10 tips to fight sleep deprivation as a nurse Jun 04, 2021
    Show notes

    No matter how old you are, what occupation you hold, or where you live in the world we can all agree that sleep is essential to functioning properly on a day-to-day basis.

    That being said, as a Registered Nurse (RN) getting a full amount of sleep can be hard due to the constant and rigorous schedules they must endure. This is especially true for those who work swing shifts, rotating shifts, or night shifts. Losing a minimal amount of sleep can cause changes in a person’s mood, energy level, and ability to handle stress.

    Shift Worker Sleep Disorder (SWSD) is a common disorder amongst nurses. It is known as a circadian sleep disorder that affects the body’s circadian rhythm and the function of the body clock that regulates time periods for sleep.

    In this podcast Nurse Alice opens up about a scary incident where she was very sleep-deprived and had a car accident. Later, she discusses advice for improving sleep quality as a sleep-deprived nurse.
