AAAAhhhhh... after many hours of working in the ED, I finally get my first 5 days off. At my hospital the nurses that are full time do a Day-Day-Night-Night rotation, with 5 off in between. Mind you, the first day is a sleeping day, but essentially for 4.5 days you are not hospital property.
So here I am in the middle of my five days off, and what do I do? Well, I do homework (learning goals due today), I go to school (I need references for a job), I go grocery shopping, and then I relax with a tea and.... a book on how to read EKG's.
I am the biggest nerd in the world.

You have to tell me what you think for the two day/two night/five off rotation. I'll be switching to it in the near future.
Is it good, bad, or somewhere in between?
btw, thanks for the line, I'm sorry I didn't find you earlier! I added a link back. :)
