R.e. @polevaltRN that is WHY I try and get my patients their pain med/epidural ASAP....to get them comfortable so that they stop being a "jerk" to everyone in the room.
I don't need to add much to the flames bc enough has been given. As a fellow L&D nurse, I think how you practice sucks. You should know better and treat your fellow woman better than that.
Pretty much this all day long. Hopefully this encourages you to change your practice because it goes against everything a nurse is supposed to be.
My confession is I secretly sneak $1's and sometimes $5's out of H's money jar and I put it into your kids piggy bank. He only uses cash and always put any extra in this jar on our dresser. I am pretty sure he know's I do it but he doesn't say anything since it for the kids. When the piggy banks are full we take the money to the bank and deposit it into their joint account. Then I let them get one special toy from Wolly World.... (but I mainly pay for that).
You put money into my kid's piggy bank?! SUHWEEEEET!
No prob. The patients that I'm talking about that are being jerks aren't even in labor yet. They come in for elective inductions so they haven't even started contracting and they are already being rude! lol I know firsthand that true labor contractions can change one's personality, but these patients (and it isn't many of them) are just plain mean the minute they walk in the door.
Nope. Still doesn't make what you're doing OK.
@LindsRockies I wonder if her legs hurt from all the backpedaling she's been doing.

I wonder what her issue with is teen moms is? Maybe she feels like she needs to "teach them a lesson."
Whatever her issue is with them, again, she can go fuck herself as far as I'm concerned. She's on my post-it for sure.

@polevaultrn, can you please clarify the thing with the teen moms? Do you actually make a teen wait just because they are a teen?! If so, please explain why you would do something like that? Edit: I try to believe in the goodness of humanity so to hear that someone would withhold an epidural from a teen just because they are a teen blows my mind!
No, not just teens in general. Teens being jerks.
I'm raising my second teenager and trust me they are all jerks!!! I really think teenager means get an attitude.
Can I just say that Rehab Addict is awesome, I just saw it. She is my new idol.
