    tatarn2b2007 replied to bamablue78's topic in Travel

    tatarn2b2007 replied to registeredin06's topic in Travel

    tatarn2b2007 replied to xxJohnnyTxx's topic in Travel

  20. For the nightshifters.

    tatarn2b2007 replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt the 3 12's are the best. I have done both and I felt like I never had a chance to de-stress when doing 5 8's. I guess I am lucky that I don't feel like a zombie after a long stretch of 3 in...
