This isn't an easy episode to share, but I think it's one that needs to be. I leave all names out for respect of the professionals in my area, and of course patient information is always confidential, but my side is free to be discussed, and I'm about to.
Please, as nurses, let's do better. Stop the closed minded, no questions asked, okay to bully others, the doctor is king mentality. We are all a team, we are only as strong as our weakest member, and we are all there with a role, to serve the mother and her baby during this one birth. Let's show respect, decency, and even love for each other.
For those who are pregnant and listening, if you are going to the hospital to give birth, go prepared, go with an understanding of what the expectations are, what your preferences are, and how to make the hospital the best birth possible! It is possible!
