Topic: RE: Change in my hours
It is less stress but we have some that like to wander as they have Alzheimer's so one guy will try and leave as he thinks he must get to work or go home to his wife. It's sad but we are there to protect and love them.
I just love my job with all my heart and I'm so glad I went for it. I kept tellnig my husband they won't hire me and sure as **** they called two days later It was the best move I ever made in my life besides getting my WLS. Now I'm trying to push myself into maybe going back to school. I keep telling myself I'm to old "45 years old"
I still plan on visiting my residents in the day time as the other girls that work the night shift don't really know the residents as they are sleeping when they arrive.

You'll do great. Less stress on the night shift, hopefully. Maybe the patients will sleep most of the night, if you are lucky.

Hi Donna--
Your comment was very, very helpful!!! I am sitting here going thru the survey to make sure pre-op/ post-op questions are clear. You are perfectly right. This is why pilot testing is so important. I'm so glad you caught that.

Thanks Karen!!!! This is a big help. I'm here at work updating the survey. I am really excited about learning more about the psychology of WLS. It really IS a MIND thing.
Hugs,
