Hats off to the Labor and delivery room nurses. Lord knows we put up with a lot and we love what we do. Not only we have to deal with the unknown 24/7 but we also have to deal with ungrateful management who want to cut your staff,run the floor short.You can have a halo on your head but your manager will always turn it to a crown of thorns. I am now retired, I loved every minute spent in L@D ,doctors, patients, babies, the assistants the whole nine yards.
