Nope--I have Sundays & Monday nights off - my first nursing home I did 3 months of 3-11 shift --I was only 19 & I so hated it !!--then when I got married I did 4 years of day shift & it was 4 years too long --having to set an alarm clock for 5 am --well that's just not for me --so I did 10 more years there on my beloved night shift & then got this COUNTY nursing home job--with so much more better benefits --I can actually retire in 11 more years & just sit in my rocker on the front porch & wait while the mailman brings me my monthly check (while listening to Judas Priest )
but the county nursing kinda lets you pick your days off--you have to work every other weekend but I wanted to work Tues -Saturday because I'm a big wrestling fan & a big football fan--so I made a deal with them to have every Sunday night ( football & PPV wrestling ) & Monday nights off ( Monday night Raw & MOnday night Football ) so it's all good --I just can't sleep--I am used to it --I'd better be --after 20 plus years--there would be something wrong with me if I wasn't used to it !!---lol But I understand it's not for every one [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ronhartsell from Monday, July 06, 2009 4:44:24 AM)

I should've known !!
the only reason I'm up is because I can't sleep but then again being on the graveyard shift for 20 plus years my inner time clock is totally screwed up--right now I should be passing meds & checking blood sugars--lol
