A...I am unenviously understanding of your position. At my hospital as well, I think the surgery interns have it better than the medicine folks. One thing our rigid regard for rules does get us is respect for 80 hours - kind of. We break it, but not as badly as it sounds like you do.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about nurses' aides, but the nurses I do feel sorry for. The ones on my floor get thrown around a crazy schedule: 12hr days for three days, 8hr afternoon shifts for two days, three nights, one day, two nights - whatever. The managers seem to shuffle them into holes at random; and even though they get a day off in between, it must be hard to take care of a family and stay sane with such an unpredictable schedule. At least we know ahead of time that we're going to be working 15 hours, or overnight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411997.post-91984298880915420342007-08-20T00:13:00.000-04:002007-08-20T00:13:00.000-04:00Sorry for the rough patch, the bf told me about hi...Sorry for the rough patch, the bf told me about his first year of residency (we hadn't met then) and I was horrified.

We'd always be twice as busy on the nights that I worked!Doc's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132862073415528786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411997.post-71592923541672949612007-08-17T15:41:00.000-04:002007-08-17T15:41:00.000-04:00Sleep, Nathan, sleep!(My son just got his USMLE sc...Sleep, Nathan, sleep!<BR/><BR/>(My son just got his USMLE scores back.
