New job- to quit or not?
I would not quit with one week work.I was on same shoes 9 years ago .Cried every single day after work and no sleep and I lost so much weight down to 99 pounds.I looked anorexic,it was so bad.My husband was so supportive and encouraged me to hang in there which I am glad now .I have been here for 9yrs and got a good raise in few yrs and happy .Once you prove who you are and your skills are things changes.So hang in there.

Best schedule for single mother
I work in the Operating room and I have 3 kids.I work weekends now since I have my husband to watch them during week.But when my husband travelled I worked week days and send them to day care .I would think it's ideal to work week days when you have more opportunities like day care ,nannies etc.I would not rely on one person,it's hard I have been through.I would put them in day care and also have a nanny PRN just in case kids gets sick.I worked three 12 hrs shift in the OR so I had 4 days with my kids .

Rant: Physician pagers!
Gosh I go through this always.We are a trauma center and residents and doctors want me to answer pagers and phones.Lately pages are on the phone so they want me to check all the texts including their wife's ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ messages.I feel weird always.They won't leave the pagers before they scrub in and I have to search around their pants and try so hard to pull it out.God...I try to ignore most of the time and few minutes later surgeon is like what was that page🙄
