10. You're so tired that you now answer the phone on your nursing unit, "Hell."

9. Your friends give you a jingle to ask how you've been and you immediately scream, "Get off my !#@!%# back!"

8. Your nursing office garbage can IS your "in" box.

7. You wake up to discover that your bed is on fire, but go back to sleep because you just don't care.

6. You have so much on your mind that you've been forgetting to take bathroom breaks.

5. Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make it through Monday.

4. You don't set your alarm anymore because you know your pager will go off before the alarm does.

3. You leave for a party, instinctively pinning on your hospital ID badge.

2. Your Day Timer exploded a week ago.

...and the Number One sign that you are burned out because of work...

1. You fantasize about how relaxing it would be if you were in jail.

Being burnout is how I reacted today, when my supervisor told me that I HAD to "volunteer" to work overtime this weekend: "I'll let you know AFTER my doctors' appointment Friday afternoon!"
