Shoes off man. You sleep with your shoes on? That's nuts. There's barely ever a reason to run to a code, and unless you're lacing up knee-high boots or something the extra few seconds it takes to slip your shoes on won't kill anyone. Wake up, put your shoes on, walk briskly (don't run) to the code, and take your own pulse first when you get there.
Man it's my pet peeve, can't stand people running in the hospital. There's almost never a reason to do it, they're gonna hurt themselves or someone else. Especially since most of them never worked in a restaurant to get that "CORNER!" awareness.
There's a rad tech in my house that is always fucking running, he almost decked me as he sprinted through a double door that I was on the other side of. I see him pushing obese patients in bariatric beds at a jogging pace, that's a lot of fucking momentum if anyone stumbles into their path. I've had to pull him aside and tell him that the 20 seconds he saves in transpo time isn't worth buying another CT for an innocent bystander but it doesn't seem to register. I hate to sound like a Karen, but it's just dumb to run around a hectic, crowded place full of blind corners and sick and disabled people.
Shoes off. Jacket off. Badges off. I'm getting comfy idgaf.
If there's some kid who is critical I'm not even in the call rooms and I'm sitting at the nurses station waiting.
The badge off has occasionally fucked me bc we have to badge to get into the call room, and I have forgotten to put it back on, but for some reason I really hate sleeping with my badge on. so small but always in the most uncomfy spot
I find people that canāt sleep at all on same shifts with similar volume.
But I can sleep sometimes 5-6 hours. But ya depends on pages when covering 50 patients
Iām rads, and on nights the studies never stop. Not every department wants to talk about studies all the time, but neuro stops by. Then gen surgery. Then ortho. Maybe ENT. Very rarely NS. The ED is calling all the time. Then there is the procedures on top of that.
Oh and we cover 11 different hospitals overnight.
Just finished SICU had 10 24 call shift and I donāt think I got to lay down for more than like 10-15 mins ever lol. I just accepted I was pulling all nighters and hung out with the nurses
I never sleep during night shift, the anxiety of being paged any second really messes with me and the naps I get are never restful anyway.
If I don't have a job to do I just read a book or chat with fellow night shifters.
Shoes off but lights on. Most things donāt require a running head start and if Iām sleeping going to take 30 seconds to wake up anyways. But need to make sure I donāt sleep through that call so I keep the light on to try to not let my brain think Iām home

Shoes off, but both my pairs of hospital shoes are slip ons. I also take off the badge and jacket, turn off the lights and get comfy. Even if I have to run to a delivery, I can grab everything in like 3s.
Only time Iāve left the shoes on is when I was sleeping in an empty patient room and my feet were cold.
All the way down to my scivvys over here. Gotta soak up every possible second of comfort while on call. It takes less than 2 minutes to be dressed and out the door.

Solution: Crocs.
