I've worked every shift imaginable as a staff nurse, nursing supervisor and nurse manager too. Now I work 3 days a week, 12 hours shift from 8A-8P. Rotating shifts is very hard on the body. I'm feeling the effects of it now on my body. But i earned my say as far as pay and how I want to work now. Rotating shifts can have some perks.

I feel your pain and frustration. I've been a nurse for over 15 years and worked all areas as staff nurse, supervisor and manager. At times I would be the only African American. I would never let that deter me for one minute. I always kept in mind that I was hired to do a job and that was what I was going to do. If someone had an issue with color, it was there problem. Even in the 21st century, color race and gender still have issues everywhere, not just in nursing. Hold your HEAD up High and recognize that you are in a wonderful profession. A patient doesn't care who gave them the shot to ease the pain, but who cared enough to be with them at their worst time.

I still waiting for my RICH UNCLE to pass on and leave me his loot!!!!!
