depends upon where you work. but remember that holidays and weekends are not sacrid anymore. anyday of the week is a day that staff member is needed to work the floor. and every hour is needed to be staffed.
since i am in process of becoming an RN, i am accepting this as the rule of thumb. will love to hear the RN's point of view.
and by the way, there seems to be no greater occupation than being a nurse, despite the difficulties that nurses endure.
thanks for being a nurse and all that you do put up with to be one.
there is someone that you helped today, they feel better because of the help you offered !!
