Hi there! I just bought two pairs CROCS and I LOVE THEM!!! My feet don't even hurt after a 12 hour shift!! I prefer the Metro style croc!! http://www.crocs.com Take care, Lisa

Hello everyone!! I've been a nurse for 4 years. I've always worked on an oncology/respiratory floor. I'm getting ready to start in the ICU working 12 hour shifts! YIKES!! I thought I was ready for the change, but now I'm getting nervous. Right now I only work 3, 8 hour shifts and I'll now be working 3, 12 hour shifts. (7pm-7:30am) Any hints on how to handle working 12 hour shifts? Any helpful insights on working in the ICU? I start Thursday night!:smackingf Luckily, I'm working in the same hospital, and I know a few of the RN's in the unit. We are actually going to be working on the floor with preceptors for a couple of months, THEN start ICU classes in Oct. I wish we were doing the classes first!! I just hope I made the right decision! I knew my floor soooo well. I already miss my co-workers! I left because I wanted to learn more skills, and I needed a break from oncology. I'm interested in hearing your stories of why you left one job for another! Any help, wisdom, words of advice would be appreciated! Hugs, Lisa

Hi, I just bought a new shoe called, "CROCS." They are VERY comfortable. I bought the metro style. http://www.crocs.com Take care, Lisa
