Thanks for your reply! I asked my manager, she said she can "try" to work around it but can't guarantee it. I guess that's good enough :) Your letter made me feel better about it. Also, I realize the challenge, I feel it already! No kids here...hopefully that helps a bit.

I was telling my boyfriend a story about a patient with prostate cancer, and he said, "Well what if I had it?"...I said joking around (he is 25 by the way) "I don't know, you want me to check you?"...he says "Oh god YES, THANK YOU!!" and looks at me as if he is ready to be checked... I said..."you have no idea that checking you would involve sticking my finger up your ass do you..." haha.

Hi guys! So I just landed my first RN job, in the ICU, no less. I know how lucky I am, and I don't want to do ANYTHING to mess it up. I am planning grad school, and I need some pre-reqs (bio, ochem) to do so, and to get in the program by my goal I need to take ONE class this semester. My issue is telling my boss I am not available one day a week (the class is only on fridays, luckily). So my question: does it sound terrible to make myself unavailable one day a week? Or is that reasonable? I know many nurses do so for their kids activities, grad school, ect. I just feel so lucky to have this job I am a bit paranoid about blowing it!
