  4. Why do nurses fight so much with one another?

    Or in the case of my line of nursing, the patient goes to complete and starts pushing, or decides right now that she wants an epidural? Pre-assigned breaks just don't work well in floor nursing, for the most part." I agree. Pre assigned breaks where ...

  12. Im a nurse and I take xanax....

    What a jerk! Don't worry about it. As a previous poster posted, we are all human and have same issues. I take xanax once in a while, another fellow nurse is on anti-depressants. Everyone has their own darn issues!
  13. I didn't know I was pregnant?

    I have worked in l and d for 6 years. And I have seen several patients with this story. The ones I don't believe are the ones that are small-not overweight with these big bellies! The parents are usually the ones to bring them in. I am thinking maybe...
