unless you don't get paid for it that is!
Shane was paid for 24 out of the 72 hours he worked last week... because 48 out of the 72 hours were spent precepting for nursing school. Shane has worked very hard to earn his RN and he is finally at the tail end of finishing school! He just has to endure 3-4 more weeks of working full time, with no paycheck. In my eyes, it is all worth it! Shane is getting AWESOME training by precepting in the shock trauma ICU at IMC. It was such a blessing that he was chosen to be in this ICU because there are so many patients that have endured life or death accidents and who are in need of critical care. Shane's eyes have been opened wide to how delicate life truly is, and he is now starting to understand the depth of his own injury 2 years ago.
Currently, Shane is back at the hospital working a 7 PM - 7 AM precepting shift, then working again from 3 PM - 11 PM. (Keep in mind this guy has to commute 40 minutes just to get to work!) I am so proud of him and hope that I can give him all the support he needs during this tiring time of his life...
What he REALLY needs are some extra hours in the day for homework, and SLEEP!

Kenzie, I think about you all the time. I hope things are going well for you. Halo and I walked over to your house the other day, but you weren't home. Then I was going to call you two to see if we could go on a double date on Friday. My mom had offered to babysit and I thought it would be nice. But Eric also had a huge week and was too tired for anything except sleep. Now I am thinking maybe Shane was too tired as well.
We can relate. That is such a tough time. Soon it will be over and things get much better :) good luck Shane!
I think that picture says it all.
Soon all the HARD work will pay off!!!! XOXOXOXO
