Just for fun. Do you ever reward yourself after a tough shift, patient, patient load, weekend, night, etc?
I like to get Starbucks on the way home. It's about once every two weeks but when I start to feel frazzled after a round of admissions on night shift it gives me something to look forward to.
I lay in bed and do absolutely nothing. I get to a point where I actually debate if I should get up and go pee or just wait because that would include getting out of bed....and that just sounds like something I can do later.[/quote']Rotfl! I thought I was the only one! Too bad you can't delegate urination to someone else. Jk!!! Lol!
Had 3 hours of critical overtime with a really sick post-op and knew it would mean a nice boost to my paycheck. I got my first pedicure in at least 2 years at a wonderful spa I had never been to before! For regular days (crazy but no O/T) I have a soak in my ancient hot tub, with or without my husband. I try not to violate HIPAA, and he tries not to puke...

You know there's always the option to self catheterize;)
I crave junk foods after my shifts (usually after evening shifts), sometimes clothes shopping, or just look forward to passing out! (Usually no energy to even shower)

I work PRN as a CNA in a hospital float pool. have worked there since the year before i started NS (going on 3 years now). Nothing feels netter to me than a Dr. Pepper, Criminal Minds, Mindy Project, reading a good book, or two
, and then hitting the sack!
