From Glen Helen

Got towels? This little screech owl found itself in a flower bed covered in mud. Thankfully someone found it and brought it to the Raptor Center where we were able to give them a bath and get them ready to join the 13 other baby screech owls in the “hunting school” before being released back to nature. As you can imagine, these little floofs use a lot of resources and we could use a restock! Paper towels are always in need!

    Definitely not too often, and it’s always voluntary. It’s actually illegal to force nurses to stay over their shift in Massachusetts unless there’s a major emergency. (Thank god)

    Yesterday was a weird situation where at the end of my shift, there was a peritoneal dialysis patient that needed an out of the ordinary treatment. And on the team of dialysis nurses I work per diem with, I’m the one with the most experience with peritoneal dialysis. It would have been way more difficult for one of the evening nurses to do it, so I agreed to stay (and they gave me a bonus to stay, so even better!)

      Ah, now that is a situation where it actually does sound better for everyone!
