Long story short. I work PRN at a hospital. I’m a tech, my husband is a RN. We both worked here until he just started doing travel nursing and is now making really good money. At the hospital I work out I’m PRN and what’s required to be that is having to work 3 scheduled shifts out of a two-three month period. I haven’t worked in 2 weeks or picked up a shift due to my son being VERY ill. This has been going on for months. He is COVID + as of Thursday. My husband is negative and it still working he’s also been vaccinated. So he’s fine, still making $$. Our plan is I’ll be SAHM, which you know doing everything and then working the 3 shifts, I’m Im able and feel up to it he says it’s my choice if I want to pick up incentive shifts ( extra shifts that make double the pay )

And he would give me money every two weeks basically to live on with the kids or myself. It is a great plan I am thankful he’s doing this and giving me money instead of me having to ask whenever I need it. I have had no break, no rest, no nothing until this weekend. For the first time in months. His mother is keeping my little one because she has covid also. She offered to give me some rest because she saw how physically mentally exuasted I am. Also thankful for that. I finally had a break down because it’s so physically hard being a sahm especially with a very sick child who doesn’t sleep and having two other kids. I was picking up shifts till not only I physically wasn’t able too lately but also my hospital is going under bad with the vaccine mandate people are leaving left and right and just how shitty the pay is and how undervalued we are there. So it’s really only me left and two other girls, that’s it! So I take on half of the floor most shifts and with how many people left I found out tonight I would of had to take on the whole floor which is over 30 patients. I called in because for one I am exposed to someone with covid, ( my son ) I’m not feeling great myself, Even though the hospital has a policy “ if you don’t have more then 4 covid symptoms your still required to work” which is insane. Basically I was still required to work if I have Covid. So I called in and asked to be tested first. I feel like shit, I’m so exhausted I needed to take this only time I have without my kids and REST. Catch up on rest.

My mom comes over and is PISSED I am not going in. She’s like “ what happens if he decides he wants to quit giving you money your not gonna have any if you don’t fucking go to work” ( I pay her my car payment and phone bill since back a few years ago she had to co sign it ) so I pay her to pay it basically. We are gonna be switching it all in my name but with everything going on we haven’t got there yet. But she said “ you are stupid for not going into work you need to give me your money now for your car payment because your most likely not gonna have money blah blah blah” I said mother I don’t fucking feel good, I need rest. I may shed COVID like please I deserve to fucking rest! I can pick up any shift I want in the next coming weeks but I’m not gonna go to work and just infect sick patients with COVID because of fucking money. My husband is helping and is offering to help pay if I csnt cause if not working it’s not a big deal. I just don’t understand why she’s being so selfish and rude!
