I sometimes wonder how I am going to make it. 12 hours shifts, on your feet most of the day. I see older, more experienced nurses and they are sitting and chatting. All of their work is done in a timely manner and their charting is up to date. I on the other hand am [...]

There are a couple of things I like about this video

Tadd essentially daring the OB to try and figure out the gender of the twins
