I can't tell you how many 12 hour shifts have gone by, when by the end of them, I realize I have not even stopped to pee. Lunch consists of grabbing a sandwich between vag exams. Breaks are not in a Labor and Delivery Nurse's vocabulary.
So Peeing? When do we pee?!
- When the Department of Health is on their inspection tour
- When JACHO is in the middle of their inspection of your unit
- When the CEO is "just stopping by to see how you're all doing"
- When time forces you to change certain female toilettries for fear of leakage or toxic shock syndrome
- When the pain of an overextended bladder is so intense that you are doing breathing exercises with the patient in labor
- When the shift is over
