Due to complex needs of multiple patients and a relative paucity of nurses willing to pitch in and give up their holidays, I'm working a double tonight. Not to worry though--the turkey is cooling, the potatoes are cooked and all that's left is the salad, dressing, pies and green beans to deal with.
Come next Friday, I can cash that plump(er) check and do a little holiday shopping.
Let's hope for a silent hospice schedule for the on call nurse come 8 PM tonight. I can use all the juju I can get.

You and I are both working this holiday. Ohhhhh, the life of the hospital worker. Okay, I'm wishing upon a start for a peace and serenity.
all the very best wishes for a quiet shift, from one hospice nurse to another...oh just saw sapphireblue's comment...and to you too! i was going to have to work thxgiving as one of the nurses thought she had chickenpox...turns out she doesn't so i'm off the hook..
You are a heck of a woman Rudee. I used to agree to work lots of holidays for young moms to be off with their children, after mine got older. Lots of time we had to have holiday celebrations on different days. Happy and quiet night for you.
QMM
Head examination complete...nothing found
Have a quiet, peaceful night. Everybody should be thankful for people like you. (Hugs)
Happy Thanksgiving Rudee! Try and enjoy whatever time you do have off.
Hope your evening is quiet with little stress, and you have a good Thanksgiving. Karen
Hope you have a good shift and then can you enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner.
I'll add my wish for a quiet night. And enough rest to enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family.
Ohhh you're a busy lady, wow. Have a great day tomorrow with your family.
Wishing no ringing phones for you!
May you never hear a ring.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you don't have to work too much and have enough time to relax and enjoy.
