    LVN in an acute inpatient rehab on the weekend Friday through Sunday I leave home at 5:45 p and get home around 8:30 a. On Tues and Wed I work for an agency (Favorite Healthcare) and I do everything else. Where ever they send me. I usually leave home on Tues and Wed around 5:30 p and get home anywhere from 8:30 to 10 in the morning. It depends on where they send me. But, I love it, and I love the crazy people I work with.

    Kudo's to you sister. I don't know how you do that emotionally. I know when I do the pedi step down and the er I have to I have to desensitize myself from it all.

    Thank you so much for those kind words. This place is incredible - I see miracles happen here every day. I will admit my perspective changed once I had my own children but for the better! The work is definitely draining at times but to see a child who rolled in the door receiving CPR, who months later WALKS out of the hospital and gives a big hug on the way out the door....empowering & inspirational. Not too many people can say that they love their job this much! I'm very fortunate! 10 years here and counting.

    Registered nurse in ICU or ER 7p-7a (which usually means 6:30p-somewhere between 7:30-8:30a). Love my job, my sometimes crazy (and I do mean crazy sometimes lol) patients, love my coworkers. Currently working 5 (sometimes 6) shifts a week which is killing me at times (its a small ICU unit and I'm currently the only full time RN working nights), but my work is very rewarding and I wouldn't change it or working night shift for the world. I am a natural night owl and when I have filled in on day shifts I felt I wasn't as engaged or effective in my work, so probably a night shifter for life lol.

    I feel the same way about working acute rehab. But your's is such an inspiration to me. I appreciate nurses like you who care for the most innocent of them all.
