*yawn* nights.

i'm working nights this week. OB nights. which sounds a lot worse than it actually is i think. for instance, last night - here's what i did...

8:25pm - nap at mark and tanner's apartment
9:20pm - tanner wakes me up by rubbing my back and singing a little diddy about it being time to go pull babies from vaginas.
9:22pm - run home, shower, reclothe for the "day"
9:42pm - hospital bound
9:52pm - run up the secret back entrance stairs to the OB floor
10:00pm - catch up with the night resident, who proceeds to tell me that there's nothing to do, and that i can go claim a call room and she'll call if something comes up
10:02pm - watch grey's anatomy while printing articles for a presentation i have to do wednesday morning
10:44pm - sob silently while watching grey's anatomy alone
11:00pm - go to bed
4:15am - wake up to ringing phone, it's the night resident who proceeds to tell me that there is a new patient, but that she forgot i was there, and thus had already done everything, but i should come up to look at this awesome example of ferning which is what happens when you wipe some amniotic fluid onto a glass slide and look at it under the microscope - a test to verify that your water has in fact broken
4:19am - arrive on OB floor, look at ferning, sit at nurse's station waiting for futher instructions while the night resident talks to the attending
4:22am - am told to go back to bed
4:22:07am - leave OB floor for call room
5:20am - phone alarm goes off
5:25am - phone alarm snooze goes off
5:30am - arrive back on OB floor to round on my post-partum patients
5:58am - finish rounding and writing progress notes; wait for morning team to arrive
6:30am - sit through morning check-out with day team
6:48am - grab breakfast; run in to sarah in the cafeteria; tell her about the night
7:00am - sit through a lecture... about... ???? oh yeah... epidural abscess. you don't care, i promise.
8:02am - leave the hospital feeling refreshed and ready to start the day.
