I love my job. I work as a travel nurse on OB. I get to help women (families) in a time of stress for great joy or sometimes utter heartbreak. I get to help put families together, one child at a time. I love the newborns and the help for the mom's. I even like helping when things don't go as planned. I can help a family with a natal loss see that it won't always be this bad, and because have been through it, they get the best berievement care I know how to give. I console the woman who has decided to give her child a better life through adoption. and even help those who decide that motherhood is not for them right now. I love being able to guide and assist a frightened teen through the labor process and help her bond with the life she created and carried. I have my issues but who doesn't.

Your job sounds cool!

Add me to the "love their job" category. I do the admits/discharges with education along with being a charge. I like the variety of all three job roles. It's fun to problem solve and to know I made a nurses day easier by helping with her work. I also like working with my manager on many committees. I found my niche.:)

I love my job! I work on a very busy mother/baby unit. I have only been there six months, but even on bad days, I am still so happy to work there.

It is very interesting, and I feel like I am constantly learning. I love being a part of such an important time in my patients' lives, and it is very rewarding to me to make such a difference in the lives of mothers and brand new people through the care and education I provide.

I am also extremely fortunate to work on a unit with a supportive and positive culture. I know that I can always get help when I really need it, and I always feel comfortable asking questions. Plus, we have fun. My nurse manager and charge nurses are wonderful. I also feel that the hospital I work for is an excellent organization in general.

I even work the shift and number of hours that are ideal for me. I am very fortunate.

Question for you.. is there anything in the Handbook about this? Also, I might have a friend call HR asking about jobs and benefits to see what they say about accruing the time..good luck.. keep us posted.
