Tired, tired tired

SICK and tired.

We're supposed to get every other weekend off. Since I finished up with this school thing, I've had to work EVERY weekend, but on my "off" weekend, I only have to work one of the two days. THAT's fucked up enough so that Sunday night, it's not REALLY weekend pay, (because it's really monday morning) and I've been doing this now for a month. I'm pretty fed up.

I'm so counting the days until I can give notice. I absolutely hate this job. Not the job itself, or most of the people, really, I hate the treatment.

They recently decided that no matter what, we couldn't afford to have more than 3 nurses on at once. This means that if you have 6 patients, no one can go to the bathroom because technically, that leaves more than two patients per nurse. The day staff was almost incited to riot--two of them saying they almost quit. Breaks? I don't think I've ever taken one here.

That's, YES--ILLEGAL. I work it straight thru, sometimes without even stopping to pee. This place is an absolute sweatshop and I can't WAIT to leave.

School starts up in September. August is 5 months away.
