  2. "upping the pit" with regular ctx's

    One more thing...you need giant brass cajones to be an L&D nurse some days. It takes time to grow them and get 'em big and heavy enough to smack docs around with, but patience, grasshopper....yours will grow.
  3. "upping the pit" with regular ctx's

    Ah yup. I pit gently. I don't care. I will totally blow off a doc breathing down my neck about upping the pit and have even said to them "BACK OFF, PIT MONSTER!!" :chuckle But I'm smart-mouthed like that. Pit gently, I say. I personally think ...
  4. Help with hopeless horrible nurse's aides

    Tmiller, you're exactly right. :) I frequently find that those who are of the "that's not my job" mentality are usually the first to scream when there's "not enough help" yet the last to offer a helping hand to anyone else. Truly sad. Scope of pr...

  10. Help with hopeless horrible nurse's aides
