What I LOVE about this clinic is the way the graveyard shift is run. The theory is, if there are no vitals for 4 hours, why would 4 midwives sit around twiddling their thumbs, nodding from exhaustion?
During the night shift, if there are no labors and everyone is stable, you go to sleep. Brilliant.
Of course I still have to set my obnoxious watch alarm for every half hour or two hours, or four hours, or whatever the case may be. But everyone takes turns, so I'm generally only up a few times each night. No labors for me yet, but I have hope there will be one soon!
