last night was an nice example of how nightshifts should go:
- patients were all in bed by 2130
- no one puked
- no one coded
- no one was admitted overnight
- the doctor on call actually slept in the On Call room instead of trying to go home in between calls (maybe he was in a tiff with his wife. he's strange man. he was sleeping on the floor when i went to wake him up about a patient in the longterm care facility with chest pain)
- i went down to the LTC facility in the basement to assess a patient in the middle of the night. Isnt that a doctor's job? Med school?
- we spent several hours doing a math puzzle (it was fun and i did mine all by myself, unlike my one coworker who copied off the other RN) all the while holding the gassy baby. go us! multitasking in cool ways!
- i got to hold the gassy baby!
- he farted so loudly when i was holding him that apparently i blushed!
- lime sherbert!
