Specializes in Psych.

Me! I've worked Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, the 4th of July, Halloween, Memorial and Labor day weekends this year, but I got Thanksgiving off. I discharged half of my adolescent psych unit today, so there's a chance of cancellation. Best wishes for a good shift!

This is my first Christmas Eve and Christmas off in 3 years since I became a nurse. I have worked every single holiday for just about all 3 years.

Me too. I'm not ok with it, but got no choice. So I'm making the best of things and sending my family to gramma's (14 hour drive) for the holidays.. If I'm going to make money working holidays, we might as well make it worth it with big family gatherings.

I'm working. Don't want to, but I guess I have to. Would be more pleasurable if I was getting at double time pay...or at least time and a half. Honestly, who works Christmas for no extra pay?!!??!

Specializes in Pediatrics.

I am working 8 hours! I don't mind though. We celebrated tonight like we always do. The kids will open their gifts before I leave for work then head to their dad's for the day shortly after. I figure if they aren't around why not work and make the extra money?

I did my time with shift work over the last 26 years. I work in a Family Medicine clinic, weekends and holidays(paid) off. Less pay with regular salary and all the days off I need. Hang in there, it gets better. The OT is awesome working holidays. Merry Christmas to the holiday nursing staff. I'm sure the patients would rather be home too. :)
