You know you're a midwife when you talk about ordering a pizza while you are examining a warm, bloody placenta! Or when the smell of poop gets you excited because you know a baby is likely to follow!

OK YOU need a vacation stat. :)

It's been 20 years but I'll jump in:

You are at home making your bed and you become frustrated when you can't find the chux to put on top of your fitted sheet.

...poop doesn't even phase you:wideyed:

...you try to rationalize with a pt with dementia:confused:

...your idea of a great day was a pt assignment of just 15 pts:up:

...during a moment of silence on your day off you panick b/c you don't hear any call lights going off:banghead:

The scent of peri-cleanser follows you everywhere, even when you are in your car and home.

Been there, done that, LOL

Specializes in Long term care.

...you wonder why you have the tune "some where over the rainbow" stuck in your head....

....you lie in bed at night before dozing off thinking about what you could have done differently or what you can do to help a lonely, confused resident.

you can change a patient with poop everywhere and still take your lunch break right after

When you know "Hey can you give me hand" on 11p-7a means someone had an explosion and you instinctively grab everything needed for a bed change.

You have the urge to chart your own BMs.

Or, after the week I've had at work, you can tell a patient has a UTI without getting a UA.
