Re: Re Working Weekends

[WWWPHMCOM]

I am an mds nurse. I get 1 day off per week &  2 days everyother weekend. I also get pulled to the ward to fill in when we are short, plus everyother weekend. i work for a facility with  164 beds. I myself have 7o patients, not geriatric, but psychiatric. You think you got it tough come walk in my shoes, I do it on  3-4 days per week. I think no one cares. I spend more time @ work then I do at home. My wards are the primary soarce of reimbursemnt for our facility, I have no choice, I give 110 % & they expect no less.
