  4. Nursing Dreams and Nightmares

    I haven't worked in NICU for 18 years, yet last night, I had one of those verrrrrry long, detailed dreams about it. (I call dreams like this "epic movie dreams" and I'm surprised I didn't have a big barrel of popcorn in my bed when I woke up!) The th...

    I would have LOVED this shift if it had been offered where I worked !!!! :) I loved night shift and was FINE until 7am for many years. But it got to the point where around 4 am, I felt HORRRRIBLE---I used to call it "a SICK kind of tired."

  13. I'm a natural night owl and worked nights for many years and LOVED it. I felt bad for my coworkers who did NOT like nights, and only worked them because they HAD to. I'm not working currently; but I still love to be up at night! I have more energy,...

  15. Sweet/sad show about Nursing Home

    Have any of you seen the show "Derek?" (it streams on Netflix). It is a verrry sweet, funny, sometimes sad show about a very small nursing home in England. Ricky Gervais created/ wrote/ stars in it. I just love the elderly and used to volunteer/ wo...
