Surviving 12-Hour Shifts: A Practical Guide for Nurses Who Want to Stay Sharp, Safe, and Sane

By: Bsn, Dichoso, III

From Night Shift to Purpose is more than a nursing book - it's a survival manual for the nurse who refuses to quit.

After fourteen years on a busy med-surg floor, C Dichoso III, BSN, RN shares the real lessons nursing school never taught: how to handle difficult families without losing your calm, how to protect your back and your license, how to stay sharp at 3 AM, and how to build mental resilience in a profession that constantly tests you.

This isn't theory.
It's lived experience.

Inside, you'll learn:
- How to prevent errors when fatigue sets in
- Smart charting and time management systems that actually work
- How to survive and master night shift
- Post-shift recovery strategies that protect your mind and body
- How to avoid burnout before it steals your passion
- The mindset shift that turns "just med-surg" into elite clinical foundation

Written with the voice of a seasoned nurse and the honesty of a big brother who's been through it all, this book is for:

New grads who feel overwhelmed
Med-surg nurses who feel unseen
Night shifters who feel exhausted
Experienced nurses ready for their next level

You don't just survive nursing.
You evolve through it.

If you've ever questioned whether you're strong enough for this profession - this book will remind you that you already are.
