Sounds to me like youve got a good handle on things.

I also worked in a hospital and had to juggle filling and taking care of mulitple demands and people and can relate to how draining the high emotions and fast pace can be. youre right about some days going home feeling like a rock star and others ending with leaving and wanting to fall inot bed and just pull the covers over your head.

You know, it's all right for you to just want to be along and quiet in your own time and space. I found this necessary to recover. Take care. hugs
