This picture of me and some of my coworkers deserves an explanation. We nurses are usually very busy and involved in our patient's care. However, on a labor and delivery unit, the nurse:patient ratio can change on a dime. Occasionally, (very occasionally) our patients deliver their babies at the same time and we take them upstairs to the post partum unit and there we are in the wee hours of the morning with hardly any patients and a bunch of nurses. Some nurses go home, but a core group must remain at work in case there is a flood of new admissions. Silliness usually erupts at times like these. Somebody brings out the stick-on tattoos and the knitting needles, and we pose for silly pictures. I assure you, these are all very professional, competent women. :)
