Summary: This quantitative descriptive study examined data from Freeman Health System in order to prove that the study’s hypothesis, night shift nurses commit more medication errors because of sleep deprivation, fatigue, or their circadian rhythm, is correct. The statistical analysis utilized a two-sample t-test to evaluate the variance in medication errors, comparing night shift to day shift and wake cycle to sleep cycle.
