last week was difficult. lots of on-call things, putting school on the backburner to improve my clinical and management skills, and i lost some sanity as a result. i have one more week to turn things around, i checked in with my preceptor tonight and shes aid that "things are coming together and that i should just rest for tonight. i feel like i was hovering at the brink of insanity last week with all i was trying to do, and there were many tears shed over the results of my eval on monday, and because of how thin i stretched myself last week.
without going into too much detail right now, because i am still exhausted (i was out in the middle of the night early on the 26th for a second time mom, out late on the 27th for a birth that i missed (baby out before i got there), and the out early on the 28th for a first-time mom who had a home water birth, and then paged with a question at 430am on the 29th), and then again called out this morning at 0345 for a lovely quick birth followed by 3 postpartum visits this morning, only to get home at 1430. slept for about 3 hours. think i'm gonna go to bed now.
i don't remember what i was going to say now, because i got tired just looking at my schedule for the last week. those are just the births too - i did a bunch of postpartum visits and two hospital assessments, plus homework, laundry, cleaning, dinner with mom.....and i managed to sleep somewhere in there too, although you wouldn't think there'd be time.
things are coming together. my MW told me i need to be kinder to myself. i said she sounds a lot like my parents, :)
