TUE 6:27AM Even the busiest health-care providers stop to enjoy a little socializing now and then. Here, night nurse Candace Colby- Collier is admiring Ryder's wedding photographs (she was married on June 25, the same day she finished her internship year), while Ryder writes up more patient orders.

TUE 6:46AM Laquer, D'Souza, and Ryder are conferring at the work table behind a nursing station when a nurse delivers some distressing news about one of their patients—he had become agitated and ripped the intravenous tubes out of his arm before anyone was able to stop him. Ryder heads right down to the patient's room and decides how to handle the situation. The team has already begun making rounds on their other patients. On most days, the intern pre-rounds by herself, before regular rounds, so that she can update the rest of the team on the patients' status. But on post-call days and on weekends, the team instead does "discovery rounds," visiting the patients together. "We try to gather data as efficiently as possible as a team," explains Ryder. She chats with each patient and checks their vital signs while D'Souza writes the progress notes. "We'd talk about the plan as she was typing it up. So then we'd all walk away with a plan in place."
