[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. ICU doc. Not nearly as rough as an ER doc, IMO.  But not great. I’m just getting up to start hours 24-30 of shift, and looking at my Fitbit I was in bed for 4 hours of poor sleep. That’s about average, some better, some worse.

That being said, I wouldn’t trade this job for anything in the world. Great work. And although I miss 1 weekend a month a month with [b]my kids[/b], I’m also there when they get home from school 4 out of 5 days a week. Plus, with 12 flexible days off a month (seniority brings priority in scheduling), I’m at school for parent events, recitals, all the good stuff.

But, I do have a hard start time of 7:30 (I just start earlier so on short shift days I’m out earlier) So, this would not be possible without a helpful spouse or dependable morning child care.[/quote]

I thought you only had 1 kid? What's the story here?[/quote]

General fatigue plus habit of referring to stepson as kid due to almost decade of  precollege life with him.[/quote]
