From what I have been hearing from my girl's nurse friends this is my interpretation of how things go at work in general.
1. Nurses prefer a low patient load so they can catch minor problems early on to keep them from becoming major ones.
2. The duty of being in charge gets passed around like one hit skunkweed.
3. Instead of performing your orders like you are told, nurses want to constantly question what the others nurses work loads are.
4. Nurses form packs like wolves and devour whatever they can, even supervisors.
5. A supreme being said that a patient will do better with two nurses working 12 hr. shifts than three nurses working 8 hr. shifts. I would have to highly disagree with that.
6. Rainy days trigger labor.
7. Red heads bleed like stuck hogs.
8. Doctors want patients to push and nurses want them to labor down.
