Dead Shifts

When coming on shift in the birth room you really don’t know what to expect to what the 8 hours will hold. At times it starts out crazy then dies down mid-shift. Other times it’s the opposite. There are also times where you are endorsed an empty birth room and nothing happens for the 8 hours you work. What do you do? Well I guess there are a lot of things you can do to keep yourselves entertained for hours. On this swing shift we decided to have a book reading where we all took turns reading out loud to each other.
We read The House on Mango Street. It is a book of memoirs of a tweenage latino girl living in a latino community in Chicago. It is a quick read and was a great way to pass the evening hours on our swing shift
