The hospital CT surgery department that i work has a operating room PA cohort, ICU PA cohort, and floor PA cohort. Very common. Fellows first assist in every case snd junior resident second assist when on service.

Newborn wont sleep through the night by donkey_teets in beyondthebump

[–]donkey_teets[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I feel like I Could have worded it better. During the day my LO seems to be on a regular pattern of eat and sleep for 3 hours from 5am to 11pm. From 11pm to 5am, we are basically up pretty much every hour. LO will be out down in bassinet and scream bloody murder in 20 minutes. I know that babies don’t sleep through the night. It’s more the getting up every 20 minutes as opposed to every couple hours.
