Social networking exists for a reason — to reach out and touch people. Spending time at the hospital is unavoidable, but ruining your relationship because you have a job is 100 percent avoidable. The fix? Take five minutes each day to send a quick private message to your significant other, write on their Facebook wall — heck, even send a quick email to let them know you’re thinking of them. But please, this shouldn’t be a novel, nor should you share in a monumentally long IM chat every hour. Remember, you’re at work…you’ve got patients to take care of and doctors to update! Keep it short and sweet.
