What do you do...

Honestly, I just goof off and surf the web.

As do many.

All of the above. Sometimes goof off, sometimes on here, and I do tend to read a lot of journal articles in downtime. I have more downtime than many because often my role at night is a transport NP, so basically I'm just on call in house, with a call room. I make sure none of my colleagues need help with anything, but if none of them need anything and I'm caught up on my CEUs, modules etc, I surf and look for interesting journal articles. I also have 3-4 projects I'm working on in the background. Some of them I'm not great at doing in a fast manner, but I keep plugging away!

I do have down time, but no enough that I can immerse myself into anything. Honestly, I've stopped playing phone games that can't be paused because as soon as I think I'm about to have fifteen minutes down time and start playing...........

"Can I have a wash cloth?"........................"Why did my doctor change my meds?"..........."Is my husband cheating on me?"........................

I work on a psych unit and most of our patients have sleep disturbance. There rarely is a time when ALL OF THEM are in bed comfortable and happy.

So I guess that's my answer. I humor patients.
