Hi, I read your post that stated you'd be going to 3rd shift. I'm a third shifter. I'm off tonight. My body clock is set-up so that I'm up at night and sleep in the day. I don't have access to a computer at work; and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use it. I work in a hospital. Many people seem to think that patients stop being sick at night. I'm here to tell you they don't. I have tons of stories that I could tell you.
The worse one was when this patient who weighed over 350 lbs. fell. She was, actually, lowered to the floor by the aid that was trying to help her transfer to a bedside commode. I went running in there to help. I didn't see the poop all over the floor. It was like a lake of poop! The poop got into my shoes and on my pant leg. When I walked out of the room, you could hear the poop squishing in my shoes! Ugh! I called my husband and told him to bring me another uniform, shoes, and socks. After my husband brought the stuff, I cleaned up as best as I could, and then I went back to work.
I threw the shoes, socks, and pants away.
Hope, your night shifts are better than mine!
