My First Day as a Midwife: It Was a Marathon, Not a Sprint

The magic of a good book lies in its ability to leave an imprint on the reader’s soul. Whether it's a gripping memoir, thought-provoking non-fiction, or a novel that pulls you in, every great story has that one moment that lingers. Here’s a taste of one such moment—let it sink in.

"What I didn’t realize was that “showing me around” would be more like sprinting me around. Within minutes, Emily was leading me through the labyrinth of hallways, pointing out which storage closets held emergency supplies, where the restrooms were (crucial information, by the way, given the long shifts), and introducing me to about fifty different people in rapid succession."  

"But let’s be real—on your first day, name retention is at an all-time low, especially when your heart’s pounding and your brain’s taking in everything else like a thirsty sponge."  

Ever feel like your first day on the job was a whirlwind? Try being a newbie midwife! Fast-talking doctors, secret supply closets, and a million names to remember...it's enough to make your head spin. Join me as I relive the hilarious chaos of my early days in the maternity ward.
