I am workng in CA. I only have a CA license and have only ever worked in CA.

I am looking for fellow RNs opinions and experiences. I am a travel nurse working in CA. The hospital I work at will give me three cervidil inductions. I have only ever worked in CA and have never had more than two of these type of patients. I feel this is unsafe patient care and it is a definite risk to my license. They put these patients on the antepartum unit until they are active. These patients still need to be continously monitored. At one point I had an "active" labor patient (one of the cervidil patients) plus my other two for a few hours until the change of shift. Even though there were rooms available in L&D. I have spoke to my agency to no avail. This is not the only incident that has happened. One time I had a baby who didn't transition well and the mom was bleeding. I was expected to give meds to mom and provide support to the baby for a few minutes until NICU arrived. I was the only RN in the room until then. Not one person came to help, even though I asked. Of course my priority was the baby, but the mom didn't deserve less care. It has been so frustrating. Has anyone ever had three inductions?
