Rotating shift work refers to a work schedule that changes from early to late on a daily or weekly basis(OpenStax College, 2015). That is to say, the healthcare professionals’ timetable change irregularly, which make hard for them to maintain a normal circadian rhythm. For example, the emergency-room doctors often experience some healthcare emergencies, which result in long-time sleep deprivation, high levels of stress and physical exhaustion because they cannot shift hands. Such problems might cause feelings of depression, anxiety and frustrated when confronting death which might make them more prone to making mistakes on their job(OpenStax College, 2015).Besides, rotating shift work exerts many other social pressures. For instance, some nurses

The STM can be turned into long-term memory storage by memory consolidation. The long-term memory storage has no limits in time and space, it has two types: the explicit and implicit. The explicit ones can remember and recall clearly but the implicit are not part of our consciousness and formed from human’s behavior(OpenStax College, 2015). The last part is retrieval, which means to seek the information out of memory storage and bring them back into conscious awareness (OpenStax College, 2015).The retrieval includes 3 ways of retrieve: recall, recognition and relearning. This is the most useful part for students to deal with the examinations. The study techniques include elaborative rehearsal, self-reference effect, understanding the forgetting curve, rehearsal, being aware of interference, keeping moving, getting enough sleep, mnemonic devices and so on. At first, I will choose to browse the information and try to remember in a short period of time; and then I will apply mnemonic devices, self-reference effect and elaborative rehearsal to help me consolidate the short-term memories to turn them into long-term memories; the next I will rehearse the information and make comparison of similarities of interference according to the forgetting curve tips. The retrieval of memory storage will be used during the big midterm
