>> My youngest often volunteers for the Christmas/Boxing day shifts
Been married to a GOSH paediatric nurse for nearly 30 years now. Her view was she would always pull the christmas day shift, because a: its fun and b: nurses with kids can be at home.
As a husband what do you do, you go down to the ward and you help out, because its actually fun.
When our sprog arrived, we curtailed that. I'm not sure in the days of agency nurses and the idea that generally they try to get kids home for xmas, such an atmosphere exists any more.
