CT Pixie, BSN, RN Has 10 years experience. Nov 27, 2008 I'm getting ready to hit the shower and head to work for 3-11.No biggie, double time pay for working the holiday sounds much better than having the day off.My husbands family does 2 Thanksgivings we also do 2 Christmas's. His mom, sister and her family go to the sister's in-laws house, my hubby and our family usually go to his Dads side (my hubbys dad isn't his sisters dad). And so that we all can be together, my sister-in-law, my mother-in-law and I prepare another Thanksgiving dinner for the Saturday following Thanksgiving. This is really working well now that I have graduated nursing school and have to work every other holiday.So, I am not missing out. I will be with my family and have the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, just 2 days later than most people :)Wishing all a wonderful Thanksgiving. 0 Likes

VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN Has 20 years experience. Specializes in LTC, assisted living, med-surg, psych. Nov 27, 2008 I'm home today.........working all weekend though. It's OK, I've had four days off and am actually looking forward to it. I don't have to work Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, either. I'm on call for admissions on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, but I volunteered for that........I don't drink, so there's no chance of being hung over, and I'd really like the double-time pay! 0 Likes

Iam46yearsold Has 25 years experience. Specializes in ER,ICU,L+D,OR. Nov 28, 2008 I worked 12 hours on T day. We had a nice feast in our department. And there was free food for everyone in the cafeteria. So everyone in the ER visiting was allowed to go eat in the cafeteria. We even had a homeless pt who came in by EMS who when he heard there was free food. Signed out AMA and went to the cafeteria and was made welcome there. Very nice for all. 0 Likes
