What a beautiful letter.
. I for one am certainly guilty of prioritizing my own emotional journey while delivering and never stopping once to think about what a labor and delivery nurse might experience on a given shift.
Laura McIntyre, a friend of a labor and delivery nurse, knows how easy it is to overlook the tireless efforts nurses put forth andand some of the difficult stuff she has to see. She wrote:caty just wrapped up her fourth shift in a row. that's around 53+ hours in four days. that's not including the 1.5 hours she's in the car each day. she usually doesn't get a chance to eat lunch or even drink much water. .
this pic is from a night back in july where she came to my house after a particularly hard day. she delivered a stillborn. have you guys ever really thought about what a labor & delivery nurse sees? they see great joy in smooth deliveries & healthy moms & babies. they see panic & anxiety when a new mom is scared. they see fear when a stat c-section is called. they see peace when the mom has support from her family — bc not all new moms do. they see teenagers giving birth.
caty — you are SPECIAL. you bless your patients & their families more than you will ever know. thank you for all that you do.
