I loved this:

From Head Nurse.

I updated my resume tonight to toss it in the pile to be considered for the weekend option. The differential is roughly 40% of my base. I hear I don't have to be "oriented to hearts" yet, either.

("Oriented to hearts" is something of a sensible gatekeeping thing to prevent newer ICU people from getting a patient they cannot handle, with a mixture of bullshit mother-hen pecking order alpha-queen-bee-old-nurse doctor-coddling thing on my unit.) (Some other time, maybe I'll post about it.)

So. I'm tossing my resume in. I know there are others in the pile already, and the due date is 4/15. Shall see what happens.

Updating your resume tends to get you thinking hard about how much or little you love your job. Which is it for me?

Um. Five...?

Head Nurse's words were good to hear. My answer to whether or not my job is still 5. But now, I'm thinkin this is an okay answer today. Tomorrow might be a resounding yes, love my job.

Today, I don't have my car keys back in my hot little hands yet. (See post above.) So today's probably not the best day to cast a vote. I liked Head Nurse's words.
