I was once like you. Gave 110% of myself to my patients and assignment. Felt guilty asking for time off for not feeling well so would often medicate, mask up, and work my shift as a CNA.
it wasn't until years later when I became a nurse, that an ex coworker passed away. I went to her wake and her administrator was there as well and came up to me during the reception offering me the job she held when she passed.
Take your PTO, your vacations, your floating holidays. You can be replaced at any moment at work. Odds are, you can't be replaced at home.
it's all about perspective 😉

Oh wow, offering you her job AT the wake?? Talk about poor taste. I can see how that’d really open your eyes!
Don't feel bad if you need it. Take care of yourself. Just be as helpful as possible about it. Call as early as you can so they have time to find coverage (calling 8-12+ hours in advance is super helpful!!)

I always try to call as early as possible, but I’m also like one “you sure?” away from totally giving in and powering through that shift😅
