    I'm tired of working 4 X 12's

    Poi Dog replied to stevethenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Take it from me; it is not safe to drive when you are tired. I got lucky. It stinks that we in healthcare are made to work long hours. And let's not even talk about being mandated. Take care of you....

    FED UP CNAS!!!!

    Poi Dog replied to marineswife0809's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Poi Dog replied to lifein08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
