This is Dedicated to... (see list in blog)

Ok the list is at the end of the blog because i feel that you need to actually read it to understand why they deserve their own blog entry.

So I have been here at the Hospital forever and a day, So this NEEDS to be said because it is so true. 

I Hear-by Declare, (well i wish i could declare) that the Nurses in every Prenatal Units EVERYWHERE shall receive a bonus. 

This bonus is for the Following:

1: They Make things better, when everything is wrong.

2: They dry tears that are sometimes purely hormonal. 

3: They Hold back hair, Clean up puke and other bodily fluids that randomly happen. 

4: They carry out the doctors orders, this can be Very difficult. Because we very often HATE what the doctor wants to do. 

5:They are the bringers of Pain meds, Water Cups, food, a kind word, a listening ear, subway (Vicky) Valley snow(Heidi it was snow from home. cuz i had been gone for so long) Q tips & a random notebook(Lyn) a Wheelchair ride with conversation about the same thing we talked about last night and the night before, and the night before that, (Patience) Movies From their house, (Mary). Catylin, Katy, Mickayla, Debbie, Deborah, Patty,

5: They Have write notes about everything that goes on even if it is little and may seem un-important. 

6: Mostly they Hold hands, Rub shoulders, I am sure Cry with people, show compassion, get along, do the hard stuff, and get Paid not nearly enough for the 12 hour shifts where they basically wait on people and make days that can be VERY long, Just a little bit shorter. 

So the bonus will be this....

Every Nine(9) months they will receive one tenth(10) of the the amount of money that the OBGYN was paid for the duration of each patients stay. So a woman is here for 18 weeks, the OBGYN makes 100,000.00 the Nurse shall get 10,000.00. I don't think that it is nearly enough, but it is a start.
