Hello All,I am your neighbor in WV. I will be working, just wondering who will be working there and if you have any special unit plans. Anyway, Happy Holidays to one and all.

I can celebrate any day before of after the 25th. Everyone is grown mostly, so no big deal anymore. Are any of your facilities laying off nurses or cutting hours? So far, we are steady without any big problems. No one is hiring until January, then there is expected to be a need. We are watching overtime too.
RFWB 61 Posts Specializes in LTAC, Med/Surg.. Dec 18, 2008 Working 11p-7a X-mas eve into X-mas morning, and I don't mind. I have X-mas and the following day off, and work Sat at 11p again - so plenty of time to celebrate the holiday but not enough time for the entire family to get on my nerves before I'm back to work. :)X-mas eve, however, IS my FIRST night off orientation and on the floor by myself (new grad!) so say a prayer for me!!!!
