Discouraged L&D RN

I work in a small unit in North Louisiana and I am having a hard time with dealing with how OB pt's are handled here. My husband is in the military and I have been liscensed in 8 states and I have never seen anything like it! Probably 95% of our deliveries are by induction. we admit most of them at MN for cytotec and then pit in the am starting at 37 weeks. I read that ACOGs position is that no baby should be delivered befor 39 weeks unless medically indicated. The doctors here mostly don't give a reason but if they do the fav response is "IUGR" or "lagging AC". Needless to say they don't come out IUGR! If they don't del before 4 or 5 then they are sectioned. The goal for the doctors is to get them all delivered before Friday so their call partners don't have to deliver them over the weekend! The sad part is that the patients here think it is fine and most willingly come in to be induced. If someone refuses to be induced they are labled "granola people" and the doctors are annoyed by them! I don't know how I will be able to not get fired because I speak up to much!! I keep asking my husband when we can transfer out but it will not be soon enough! Is it this way other places?

I have a question...I'm only a student and haven't even started nursing school yet so I'm a little unaware of how it works. If I was having a baby and really wanted to avoid the pitocin route, as in I'd like to labor naturally and have the option of an epidural if I decided I needed it....would I be able to choose that method if I was low risk? What I'm asking is can they just automatically give you pitocin if you're in early labor and they want to move things along? Personally, from the experiences I keep hearing from friends who have recently delivered, they were brought in in early labor, given pitocin and an epidural which seemed to just perpetuate this vicious cycle where they needed more pitocin and eventually had a c-section. Like every single one of them had this situation!! These were not high risk women, no breech babies, nada. They didn't seem to see the issue, they were under the impression the baby was going to be in danger w/o the c-section, which at that point was probably the case....but knowing what I know about the use (overuse I think) of pitocin, I'm wondering if it's possible to have a baby without pitocin anymore??? Will I be forced to use it? Or can I say no? This is hypothetical, I'm not pregnant and it'll be a couple years before I plan to be. Just wondering about this....
