Each year as a full-time nurse working in a hospital, I have to commit to work Holidays. Last year I worked Christmas. This year I worked today, Thanksgiving, and I will work Christmas Eve. The good news is that I get overtime. The bad news is that I miss out on the family things.
However, today's turkey dinner was very enjoyable!
We had a whole turkey, yams, potatoes, gravy, and a divine butternut soup. Of course we had the staple of every hospital potluck---potato chips and soda. That's because there are plenty of workers like me who may not know how to cook, but know how to run through the Quickie-Mart.
Hey don't worry, we all took care of our patients in between eating.
I don't recommend Thanksgiving in a hospital, especially if you don't work there, but I will say that it isn't a bad way for a nurse to spend a holiday.
However, I would have rather spent it together with you all. Sue
