نص القصة المصورة
- I'm just getting home from a 12 hr birth. I want to sleep but I have to eat supper, finish homework, prep for tomorrows clinic and I'm on call all night.
- 23h00
- Hi.. I'm having ctx q2-3
- I love midwifery
- So tired but I bonded with this client and I want to be there... I have to be there
- 01h00
- 01h15
- We have admitted you in active labour. We will be here for labour support and monitor as needed.
- 03h00
- 04h00
- 05h00
- Hi, my name is Dr. Painfree. I'm going to get your epidural started.
- Just try to breath. You'll be able to rest better soon/
- 05h30
- You are doing great Hayley! Keep it up.
- She is resting now. I'm going to have a snack and bathroom break.
- I am so tired. I've barely slept in the last 24 hours. I sure dont feel like I'm doing a good job.
- I really can't leave this client. I want to be there for her... and I need the numbers.. how will I do this job?
- How will I be able to stay awake for the rest of this labour?
- 06h00
- My partner said she is happy for you to continue to work with her.
- Hayley, I'm going off call at 08h00 because that'smy protected time.
- I can't say that I'm too tired to stay. She'll think I'm weak and not cut out for the profession. Plus I need the birth number and I don't want to leave the client.
- How will I make it as a midwife? I guess once I'm graduated I'll also have protected time.
- Am I even allowed to have been up for this long?
- I need to tell my preceptor or I will start making mistakes and my performance tomorrow will not be good
- I didn't come to this decision lightly.. I do want to be with the client and I do love this work!
- Preceptor, I am feeling tired and I have been awake beyond what is expected for students. I know that sometimes we don't have an option, but as I adjust to life on call, I think its best if I take protected sleep time too.
- Continuity is important but you have to set realistic expectations with your clients.
- Hayley,it is very important that you recognize that early in your midwifery career. Too often midwives burn out because they are on-call and sleep deprived. This job is very demanding and work-life balance is hard to achieve. Its important for you to have strategies that will help you find that balance.
- We are doing the on/off call switchover now. Hayley and I are heading home to get some rest. You met another midwife in your prenatal vists, she is here now to take over. We will see you in a couple days for your postpartum appointments! Can't wait to meet your baby. Goodluck with everything.
- 08h00
- Great! Thanks for all your hard work.
- I'm going to figure out strategies to help adjust to the on-call life because overall I do love it!
- I'm glad that the client is in the hands of a midwife who is well rested and focused.
