Night Shift is When the Stars Come Out...or the Weirdos...

Last night at work...it was interesting...We had two births throughout the night, with three women laboring in the back. Sometime between three and four in the morning, two visitors came through to the Post Partum floor from the Pediatrics hallway...

They headed to Labor and Delivery...

Then after about ten minutes, returned with out of the Junior Security Guards coming with them...two minutes after they headed out, once again, through the Pediatrics hallway, a Senior Guard came up, huffing and puffing and askign the Junior Guard where they went before heading after them. As he walked by, we asked what was going on (because, for our floor, this is strange workin's) and he stated they were drunk.

Alright...now, the L&D Clerk came over to our station to ask who had let them in...apparently, they weren't just drunk, but the lady had blood down the front of her shirt and the guy (who was wearing a hoodie) had blood on his neck...she had been the one to call Security...

I tell you, strange things happen during the night shift...and I was the one who let them in...let's just hope next time I let in someone covered in blood, they aren't armed and psychotic...I should start asking them that before opening the door....

The weird workings of a hospital at night...good thing I don't work the emergency floor.

Also, I got to diaper a one day old five pound baby boy...and dress him afterwards too.

Thank y'all!

PS. In two days, the countdown commences...
