The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job.

A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

When opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car.

We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.

"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again.

"Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

Top Ten Reasons To Work An Overtime Shift On The Weekend, Nursing Jokes, Top Ten Humor

To read our newest, visit http://www.4nursing.com/blog

Follow us on Twitter! http://twitter.com/nursefriendly

http://www.nursinghumor.com/weekend

10. Think of all the weight you'll lose from not getting to eat because of short staffing.

9. Think of the closeness you'll develop with your co-workers after being knee-deep in Code 10's, Code Blues and Code Browns.

8. Everyone is so frazzled, so next to them you look fabulous!

7. Think of what a challenge it will be to your nursing skills to run a code without a Crash Cart because they are all down in Central Supply being replaced.

6. The joy of having the previous shift's charge nurse tell you, "I don't understand why no one would return my calls to work today or tonight. Oh, and by the way, you have four nurses for this shift, and a full house of patients sick as dog dirt."

5. Because you're a new grad and you want to be a "TEAM PLAYER" like your head nurse told you to be. (That and you have "sucker" stamped on your forehead!)

4. When you go home with your back aching from not having any nursing assistants who work weekends and your feet aching from running your butt off for "emergency procedures" (like the gas pain your patient has had for a week that is suddenly unbearable), you'll know that you really ARE a caregiver.

3. Think of all the computer skills you'll gain from putting in your own orders and ordering supplies from Central Supply because your Unit Secretary got pulled to another unit. (That can go on your resume as...."Know how to operated multiple outdated computer equipment.")

2. You don't have time to adequately chart so you may get to learn how our judicial system works. On the bright side, your handwriting will be so bad that it can say whatever you want it to say!

1. Think of what a GREAT "Learning Experience" this will be. (Translation: You just got shafted!!)

Wisdom for the Road

http://www.inspirationalnursing.com/road/ Cherish things while you still have them, before they're gone,
and you realize how precious they really are.

Life can only be understood backwards,
but it must be lived forwards.

Everything in life is temporary.
So if things are going good,
enjoy it because it won't last forever.

And if things are going bad,
don't worry because it won't last forever either.

Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice;
it is not a thing to be waited for,
it is a thing to be achieved.

A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step.

Never cross a bridge
without knowing how to swim the tides.

If you could not add years to your life
Add life to your years.

NIght Shift Challenges, Helen V. Calalang-Javier, MSN, RNC, IBCLC, Bellaonline.com:"Working nights is a challenge for most nursing staff especially when one has to work for 4-5 nights in a row. Some nights are easy and some nights are chaotic. The nursing activities at night are slightly different in some areas such as in Mother-Baby Unit because most new mothers are healthy and they need more rest period. However, think about the trauma that comes in the emergency room every night and face non- stop excitement, drama, and stress. Or in the intensive care unit where one has to deal with codes after codes or ventilator intermittently beeping one patient after the other. All these situations can cause physical and emotional stress especially when working on the night shift."
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art43917.asp

******************************************************

Operating Room Nurse On The Night Shift, Citytowninfo.com:"I work the night shift, so I'm considered a trauma nurse in the OR. The cases at night aren't scheduled. They are usually emergencies or urgent. We see many different types of surgery at night. Because the cases aren't scheduled, you never know what you will be doing when you come in."

Night Shift Nurse in a Hospital: Video Series, Ehow.com:"Learn how an overnight nurse prepares for the late shift with expert nursing tips from an experienced night nurse in this free online late shift related video series."
http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_3807_night-shift-nurse-hospital.html

******************************************************

Night Shift Survival Hints, Emergency Nursing World:"It often seems that some staff are "permanent night people" who always function well; that some are "day people" who are known to "face-plant" on the desk and function poorly at night; and that some rotate satisfactorily but markedly prefer one particular shift."
http://enw.org/NightShift.htm

******************************************************

Tips for Surviving and Enjoying the Night Shift, Findarticles.com:"Whether you are a new graduate starting night shifts for the first time or an experienced night shift worker, these tips may assist you to improve your night shift experiences. We as night nurses carry a responsibility for the safety of those we care for, therefore part of that care is to look after our own needs in order to meet the needs of our patients; for example, by getting adequate rest and relaxation before we commence night shift."

******************************************************

OCTOBER 23, 2008, Off-shift Nursing, MedscapeNursing:"The other day I had a conversation with a nursing supervisor about the night shift, working from 7 pm to 7 am. Our conversation became somewhat argumentative in the sense that we were both questioning if the quality of care delivered by nurses during the night shift drops significantly. It made me wonder …. I have worked the night shift my entire nursing career. I could never return to the day shift. However, there are some issues that do occur during this shift. More often than not, I see my colleagues come in, plunk themselves down in their chairs by the nursing station and immediately focus on who is taking a break , “when, where, and how long.” At other times electronic documentation begins before even evaluating the patient. How can you assess a patient without ever seeing them? Aren’t you falsifying records or are you simply copying the previous shift’s entries? This worries me…"

5 Truths About Working Night Shifts, Nurseuncut.com:"One of the joys (NOT!) of being a nurse is working at odd hours just like doctors, call centre employees and the like. Every nurse gets the dreaded graveyard shift."
http://www.nurseuncut.com.au/594a1.page

******************************************************

Surviving the Night Shift, Nursinglink.com:"Healthcare isn’t a 9-to-5 job. It’s an around-the-clock profession, and working evening or night hours is a way of life for many health professionals. Such shifts can take a physical and emotional toll on workers, experts say, but there are ways to prevent the damage. Here are suggestions for surviving – and even thriving – despite a draining schedule."
http://www.nursinglink.com/careers/articles/6238-surviving-the-night-shift

******************************************************

What do you do on Night Shift? Nursingvoices.com:"Its the quiet time on the ward. Many nurses do many things during this time, so apart from the odd vital observation how do you spend the time? Do you bring a book and read, spend the whole night charting and finishing the paperwork (includes checking vitals), nip off for a quick sleep, walk around checking on everyone (just to stay awake), ward work (restocking, cleaning, etc), or do does the mayhem just not stop."
http://www.nursingvoices.com/poll-week/740-what-do-you-do-night-shift.html

******************************************************

Night Shift always late...., Ultimatenurse.com:"For some reason at my current hospital the majority of the night shift nurses are always clocking in late. They take their time getting their work assignments and report from days shift. Now most of on day shift are always early to work. As soon as we walk through the door, night shift is hounding us to give report, even before we are allowed to clock in. Is this a problem isolated to my hospital or is this a problem more systemic?"

Texas: No more mandatory overtime for nurses

Sept 2, 2009, Texas:"No more mandatory overtime for nurses:"Hospitals in Texas can no longer require registered nurses and licensed vocational nurses to work mandatory overtime. The law, which went into effect Tuesday, makes Texas the 15th state to prohibit the practice of forcing nurses to work longer than their scheduled shifts. “It's very, very important for patient safety,” said Fernando Losada, state director of the National Nurses Organizing Committee Texas in Austin. The group is part of the California Nurses Association, a union which lobbied legislators for the law." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/sixel/6600043.html

A man was wheeling himself frantically down the hall of the hospital in his wheelchair, just before his operation.

A nurse stopped him and asked, "What's the matter?"

He said, "I heard the nurse say, 'It's a very simple operation, don't worry, I'm sure it will be all right.'"

"She was just trying to comfort you, what's so frightening about that?"

"She wasn't talking to me. She was talking to the doctor!"

Creating the Image of Success for the Nurse Entrepreneur?

Creating the Image of Success for the Nurse Entrepreneur?:"As decentralization and vertical integration strategies are implemented in health-care organizations, an opportunity exists for professional nurses to be involved in entrepreneurship (Swansberg & Swansburg, 1999). With the current and projected shortage of professional nurses, health-care agencies often find it advantageous to contact nurse entrepreneurs for a variety of professional services. However, for the nurse entrepreneur to take advantage of these opportunities, an essential element of success and professional image must be developed."
