Hi Wilderness,
Here's a hug for all the stress you've been under. It's very upsetting when your hubby lets his family members get away with stuff and then picks on you. Just try and let it go, though, especially when you've got to go to work. And I noticed you hadn't eaten yet...My husband always says I'm grouchy when 1. I'm hungry, 2. I'm tired or 3. I'm in a rush to get somewhere. And sometimes it's all three!!!

Hope work goes ok for you...remember no nite OT! Get some sleep for you.

Hi Jean.

Don't let your co-workers bully you. When I was single/childless I did a lot of overtime, because I could and I was alot younger. I don't think new nurses or those without kids should be expected to do all the drudge work, but everyone should do some. Once I had a family, they came first, too bad. What aggravated me, is there are always some people who for whatever reason, could never do overtime. The queen bees, ya know?

Just do what you can...this is such a chronic problem in hospitals everywhere. Our place is dealing with the same issues...the OR nurses have to sign up for mandatory call, and on any given day they might have to stay late cause it's busy, while the bosses go home....

Wilderness,

Sorry to hear that you you are still under so much stress. I am so proud of you for saying no last night. You need to rest 3 in a row is hard. I'm glad things are ok between you and DH. Have a good shift tonight. How many do you have off after?

Ok so you are never going to believe this

I am so sorry for your friend and her family- I can't imagine what they are going through.
Hope you can find something nice to do for them. I always offer to babysit for people when they are in a tough spot. It is almost a selfish reason that I do this- it makes me feel less helpless during a difficult time.
Don't know if your friend has kids but...
Mary

Thanks Mary.

Hi Wilderness,
I'm on my way to bed but just wanted to stop by real quick and let you know your friend is in my prayers. I hope everything works out okay for her dad .

Wilderness,
I am so sorry to hear about your friend's dad. We will definitely be lifting him and the entire family up in prayer.

 

[wilderness01]

Thanks for the prayers.

 

[wilderness01]

Well I spoke with my girlfriend this am

 

[toystoryduo]

Wilderness,
for you. It is so hard to see people we care about and love hurting like your friend is right now. She sounds like she has been through so much in the last few years. Please know that we will continue to pray for her, her dad, and her family.

I just want to say thank you for all that you do as a nurse. My MIL and I were just talking about the nursing shortage this afternoon and how it has affected her work. (She's an RN.) She said that she now has to get about 12 hours worth of work into her 8 hour day. No wonder she comes home exhausted every evening! I bet it's the same or similar for you too, huh?

Take good care of yourself and know that your WISH friends are praying for you and your friend.

Tracy

Thanks Tracy.

Wilderness,

My prayers and thoughts go out to your girlfriend and her family. What a horrible thing to go through.

Remember to space out your overtime shifts...you're not the only one who should be made to stay.

I saw you post that you had lost 25 pounds! Congratulations to you. Keep up the good work. Kids naturally go for the junk food, especially as teenagers. I always point out to them that as we age, out metabolisms slow down, thus I will gain weight if I eat like them. I encourage them instead to enjoy exercise and hopefully by seeing me exercise, they will pick up good habits for life. After all, most colleges have gyms for the students to work out in, so kids can exercise even after high school sports are over.

Best, Jean
