My shift got better.....Staff Massage's

15 The higher up's finally realized that the nurse's often need massage therapy more than the patient! Thank God they finally made a right decision.
20 minutes of pure bliss....relaxing to the soft music of Enya while the MT works on my shoulders, neck, arms, back, and legs.
I can now go back to work on the floor without the nagging pain in my back from the turning and repositioning of the total care patients.

Cheers (cup of coffee)

I second that! How nice.

A cup of coffee would be nice too! But then I would not be able to sleep when I get home. Oh well better just stick with the massage!

Heaven is having a RN co-worker who is also a certified massage therapist. :heartbeat

I know I am at the wrong hospital. Administrators completely out of touch.

I got a coupon for a massage for my birthday, which I thought was nice. But that's the best I've gotten so far!

I realized that a little massage, even 5 minutes, will go a long way towards relaxing and refreshing overworked nurses.However I can barely find time to use the bathroom @ work. Also see my post on not being allowed to have water!Yes, plz tell us what kind of facility you work in. Know you can't name it

Wow.... I wish!!!

Is this a regular service they are going to provide, or was it a one time "treat"? My hospital does this twice a year along wih a Reiki treatment.... but for it to be a regular ? OMG thats a seriously nice perk!!!

You know April 1 is not until Friday, right? This sounds like a dream come true. Can you get foot massages,too? wow

Our facility recently provided us with 20 minute massages, too! Everyone loved it, and the rest of the day was awesome. (I had to pass on it because for whatever reason, I find massages excruciatingly painful in some areas and ticklish in the others.)
