I'm good, Deb.........and I'll be even better when I switch to part-time, as I'm planning to do just as soon as my manager opens up another position. I've been working four days a week for two years, and I'm getting close to burnout......this way, I'll only be obligated for two 12's per week, and can pick up extra shifts (at time-and-a-half) anytime I want. I'm in good enough physical shape now that I think I can manage a 12-hour shift, just as long as I don't have to do it more than 2 days in a row. And I don't really care about having to go back to working weekends, it's never bothered me before......I just want to get off this 11-7 merry-go-round, I'm tired of trying to be all things to all people for the first 4 hours of my shift, and then having to wrap up someone else's 8 hours of work in the last four hours of mine. I'm going to get out of med/surg entirely as soon as possible, but until something opens up in discharge planning or hospice, I need to make the best of it.
Sure am glad you're back, Deb.........I know you needed that vacation desperately, and I'm so happy that you got it!
Would you like to comment?
