I researched methodology on YouTube, walked to Walgreens, bought the appropriate battery for my car remote (plus obligatory #nightfloat individually wrapped snacks) and successfully replaced it! Now I can drive to work 😆😉 #irrationallyproud
uggggggh last night of #nightfloat by far the worst despite starting off with a lovely birthday party 😣 grateful for healthy babies and hopeful that my upcoming weekend will be restorative #ThisJobIsHard #OyFetanatyl #OyOPBabies #OyCommunicationWoes #IAmPrettyExhausted #IAmOld
When you try to leave the hospital grounds for the first time since Sunday and your car battery is dead 😆🤦🏽♀️ #nightfloat #typical
This week I'm covering maternity service on #nightfloat, and when we had a borderline SGA kiddo avoid a car seat test by a few grams, I actually cheered for kiddo and Team 🙃
Lesson of the night: CERVICES DO WHAT THEY WANT! (especially multiparous ones) 😉 Cheers to healthy babies who came sooner than we expected 🤱🏽🙃 #NightFloat #FMRevolution #LoveLawrence
I am always a bit amazed at how utterly exhausted I can feel after a week of #nightfloat even if I slept decently each day :-/ back at it tonight but I think I need a nap!!!
I answered a residency survey and got entered into a raffle and won the prize which includes BAKED GOODS from our APD (she makes really yummy baked goods!) Also we had 3 vaginal deliveries overnight. 🙂🙂🙂 #GoodDay #SleepTime #Residency #NightFloat
when you wake up from #nightfloat sleep & see that the patient whose induction required soooo much patience & endurance (from momma, family, care team) did indeed get a lovely uncomplicated vaginal delivery (even sooner than you told her to expect it 😉) 🤱🏽👶🏽🙂#FamilyDocsDoItAll
Update: An attending's young child had a birthday party and there was leftover cake ! Unfortunately it was all gone by the time I woke up for #nightfloat so I'll have to get on my wits (and caffeine) 🙂
Starting #nightfloat tonight and disappearing from the world for two weeks 🙁 but it's #SpringForward (one less hour of work!) and I already bought some double chocolate pop tarts, so that's exciting 🙃 #residency
🎶 #SchoolOfHonk 🎶monthly dance 💃 party 🎉 ... so sad I’m going to miss the next few weeks of my favorite joy & dot-filled #musictherapy (booo #nightfloat!)
it never fails ... by the end of week 2 of #nightfloat my body rejects the notion of daytime sleeping and i lie in bed at noon hoping i'll get a few hours in and that my brain will function well enough to get me through my shift #OneMoreNight #SiSePuede
I missed the @LFMResidency resident business meeting this week b/c #nightfloat but smiled reading the minutes because of a shout-out to #BruceTheInternFish (may he #RIP) for “life in service to others” 🙂
When the intern on #nightfloat loves listening to musicals as much as you do 💜(#LesMis tonight) (#NotAshamed) (@jhstlouis we miss you) #lovelawrence
Survived week 1 of #nightfloat: helped a new intern find some cervices & catch some babies & navigate 4 EMRs, did some POCUS in the ED for a peds admission, learned (just in case) about pyelo abx in pregnant pts who decline admission, ate many yummy snacks. #FMRevolution
Because inevitably on #nightfloat there is a moment that requires a dose of warm chocolately goodness #statuspostsupplyrun #readytocatchsomebabies #familydocsdoitall
Took a pre-shift nap, woke up to see the clock said 7:00 and spent several panicked/confused moments trying to figure out if it was am or pm 🙃 #oyvey #nightfloat
When your sleep cycle is disrupted by #nightfloat and you find yourself awake at 4am... you might as well go see the sunrise over the ocean.
The problem with not-busy nights on #nightfloat is that you have time to check the news headlines #oyvey #thisworld
Sunrises over the mill buildings = one of the best perks of #nightfloat. (@LawrenceGenHosp breakfast smoothies are definitely the top perk though) #lovelawrence
I am a night owl who actually sleeps pretty well during the day but it still feels like it takes three days to recover from #nightfloat 😞 #sosleepy #maybetomorrowIllbehuman
have tons of work to do very quickly but twiddling thumbs as anxiety rises while waiting for EMR to be reset 😡😩#LastNight #ICanDoThis #Maybe #MaybeNot #NightFloat
On a cheerier note re: #nightfloat admissions, I admitted a patient who shares my birthday and I was pleased that it tickled the patient as much as it tickled me.
On a lighter note, my @LFMResidency co-resident & I were apparently both wearing Star Wars socks the other night (Me-Chewbacca socks, Him-R2D2 socks) but we failed to learn this until our next shift. (Not sure how it came up then?) (#NightFloat weirdness) (#ButWeAreDone!)
not sure how it happened that we're NOT doing admissions right now but... 🤨 do we HAVE to watch the SOTU ? #KindaWannaBeAnEngagedCitizen #KindaWantToPreserveMySanity #NightFloat
🎉successsful transition to daytime sleeping🎉two senior team🎉5 more shifts🎉bring it on, #nightfloat👩🏻⚕️
