How many of you are on the two 24hr OB shifts a week? What's life like?
I don't mind OB, and I don't absolutely hate the 24s when I'm scheduled for one monthly. Recently though with my family growing, I've wondered about finding a job that offers only OB 24 hour shifts. Something about just working two long days and taking a quick nap or two the next day to reset seems appealing at the moment to maximize time with the family. Particularly since my wife is a stay at home with the children and I could have access to them everyday that I'm off.
I'm only 31 so I feel like as of right now, I am able to be a bit sleep deprived here and there but I haven't consistently done long overnight shifts since CRNA school a few years back.
For those of you that have been doing only OB shifts or maybe only 24hr shifts, how is it down the line? Any regrets? Am I imagining brighter pastures with rose colored glasses here?
