Late Night Again (L) (A)

I’ve spent the last several days and nights working at the hospital, which has become the norm. I was so grateful when the charge nurse caught me as I finished with a patient. She said I should go home and take the weekend off.  I was in shock, and so happy.  I quickly grabbed my […]
