I am DONE!!!!!!

Im done too!! I have done L+D only three years and I recently have been out on maternity leave and am looking for a job away from the bedside. Im done with having to challenge the doctors decisions everyday, being told by management that its my job to physically remove the pitocin from the pump and bring it out of the room when the patient is hyperstim for only ten minutes and get confrontation with the doctors on a daily basis- (not to mention looking like a baffoon to the patients), I feel like they want me to the MD and not a nurse. IM done with managing two inductions on pit, while watching every other nurses strip, trying to be a baby nurse for three nurses at one time while trying to admit a patient, done doing a delivery and 20 min afterwards being told you have a 6cm admission waiting in triage for you, IM done not eating or having a sip of water until 530 pm everyday, done feeling like im going to pee or crap myself because I cant get relief during a three hour pushing marathon....how UNSAFE AND UNFAIR!! I want to be compensated for what Im expected to do, and instead my staff and myself are unappreciated, not valued and totally underpaid. IM DONE!! (sorry for being so bitter!)

You have said everything....how long can they working us like this and then ask why they can not keep good nurses. I AM A DAM GOOD NURSE ! I work hard and care about my patients ...but.....I AM WORE OUT!! I have to be able to come home and be a good mom and wife. This line of works makes it too difficult to do that. I really think that I am done for now.
