I am in the boat of no sleep and having to go to work. I don't think I should go in because #1. I would be endangering patient lives; #2 It is like driving drunk and I could kill someone, including myself. #3 If someone is forced to work OT, it is not the fault of the person that called out but the employer who is at fault bc they should have adequate back up, a float staff, to cover. Let's stop blaming each other and give our co workers a break. It is not a moral issue. It is a health hazard.

Hi, It is so good to hear you as I am in bed after 2, 12 hour shifts. I've been lying around all day. I'm just not motivated to do anything but I am going to shower and take a walk. I think three shifts in a row is too much for most of us. I work hard, most of us do. Compression stockings really helped me with the pain in my legs. Also now that I think of it I think I'll go for a massage after my walk. Take care of yourself. Keep posting, I think us sharing helps all of us. Tricia
