9:08 pm Headed to the newborn nursery to see if there are any new babies to examine and writeup.
Edit- no new babies.

10:33 pm The OB/GYN resident informs me that they just delivered a baby. I'm headed down to the nursery to look over the chart and begin writing a Newborn Hospital Admission Note. Guidelines say that you should wait 4 hours to perform an exam on the baby, because their breathing, pulse, etc are still a bit crazy from the birthing process itself. If you wait about 4 hours, you'll be able to decide if the breathing, pulse, etc are normal or not.
