Work

Work is a relative term now isn't it? Some people love work, they stay at their diligently pounding through projects. Then there are those who say "I'm going to (off site)" and they never come back. Or they might even tell you they are plannning to take a sick day cause they are at their limit and don't want to lose any.....
I goof off a little during the work day but I also get calls late at night or early in the morning and when I work I am effecient, That always worked out poorly for me in the hospital. "Oh Debbie, as long as your caught up could you go help (name)." Well (name) was always behind so I learned to take my breaks, probably drove my patients crazy hanging out with them and learned to write notes very slowly.
I love what I do now because of the amount of flexibility. Because I am the "boss" I know that I have to present a good work ethic in order to get it from my nurses. I can wear jeans and even run around in my gym clothes at the home. One night I had to go to a Santee home to let a staff in the house, after he accidentally locked himself out, I went in my jammies!
Life is too short to do something you don't like. As I said before, money is not the end all. Set Priorities.
