Too Much Sick Time

I’m an RN in a local hospital. Stress is one of my triggers and I was getting migraines from the stress at work. This lead to a lot of sick time, which Management frowns on.  I had to jump through a lot of hoops to make them understand, eventually leading to a modified schedule. Oddly enough, I do much better working only night shift! Who knew migraines would turn me into a vampire!! ?
