5. I think that if I went back to a first shift that it would solve a lot of

my sleeping problem...although I have never had a regular sleeping pattern... I still felt better working first shift...I am going on 3 years now on third and I am beginning to feel like a vampire. Really, I feel out of touch with the rest of the world

Spanish...so I asked if anyone in the room spoke English...the whole family (4 people crammed into our little ER exam room) was pasty white and looked no more hispanic than casper the ghost...
