Positivity #2

October 10, 2010 in nursing, positivity, Year Three | 1 comment

I like weekend shifts.

I used to like weekends because I could count on them to be slower, calmer shifts.  That hasn’t been true for a long time.

Now there’s only one main difference between weekends and weekdays: administration. They and all the problems they bring magically disappear by Friday night.

I find myself smiling during my commute in anticipation of a shift free of pointless interference.

It feels good.
