Bummer! Can u walk when you get done with work? I cant do that but i have a friend that can. Exercise wakes me up.0
-
Yay for Fridays, mine fall on random days too...I'm currently on my Wednesday night. Maybe you could start wearing a hole in the carpet around the office? That's what I do. I can't sit for hours and hours, I'd probably fall right asleep!0

I'm lucky. We have a weight set, treadmill and elliptical. I also am allowed to have my bike in a stationary trainer so when we are slow I can jump on the equipment until something comes in. McBrian, I can sleep almost anytime. Exercise doesn't stop me from crashing. I'll come in from ride, shower and jump right into bed.0

Exercise wakes me up too. Getting walking breaks in during the long night shift helps keep my coffee consumption to minimum levels. I'm already dressed to hit the gym as soon as I get off work. My workplace is laid back when it comes to the dress code. As long as you don't show up in swim wear, they don't care.0 -
Lucky. If I'm lucky we get and admit who has meds and I can take the stairs down to the pharmacy and back up. Other then that it's a stroll around the floor and rounding. I work psych. We Do. Not. Wake. Them. Up.0

Kramrn - Sorry to hear that. When I worked with the hospital folks in El Paso, those guys were pretty laid back, but they weren't working psych. It was public health.0
-
Guess I better hit the showers and get back to work.0
-
It's not the psych patients that are so difficult. It's the addicts that drive me nuts. I had to tell one she could only get one PRN at a time and that she had to wait three hours between trips to the med room door.0
-
LOL. "I thought PRN meant I could have as many as I wanted!" I'm glad I work with animals.0
-
Back for another night. " I owe, I owe, so off to work I go....."0
-
I'm back as well, until 0100 mst0
-
Any new stories? Work's pretty boring tonight.0

Oh lord! How many calories does anger burn because I was about to shank a charge nurse! PT started to have severe abdominal pain at 0230 and no matter how hard I pushed she just sat on it. Poor woman was doubled over and in severe pain- she got an order for Zofran. Two hours later almost I finally got rapid response team order and got her off my floor. Gah!!!!!!!!0
-
Yikes! Why such a delay? Was the charge nurse just being lazy or were you really that busy?0
-
Laaaazy. Didn't want to rock the boat. I almost turned in my badge right then I was so mad. I am really hoping I get a job offer from the interview on Wednesday.0

Sometimes it's better to move on than to continue to treat ulcers created by workplace conflicts.0

Well put. I've worked nights for about 9 years now. I was asked to go back to days 3 or 4 years ago and it destroyed my world. I think I made it 4 months before I saw an opportunity to go back on nights. I grabbed that opportunity with both hands and held on for dear life....
