[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was wondering what happens if one of the nurses was pregnant at the fertility clinic.  In my mind I thought they would hide them away to do desk work until after they gave birth.  I guess not!  My nurse just got married so I'm sure she will be pregnant before me....[/quote]
You sound crazy. Her personal and family life doesn't stop because your have fertility issues. Do you think the clinic wants to pay her to hide?
 You sound self entitled.[/quote]

Well pp put it a little harsh, but I think this is what other pp was talking about when she said the only thing you have control over is how you choose to handle it.  I agree with fake it til you make it.  I did a clinical rotation at a fertility clinic and there were 2 pregnant nurses.  They were VERY aware of how their pregnancy would impact the patients.  But the reality is that desk jobs aren't a huge part of the nursing world so they can't "hide them away" until after they give birth. [/quote]

Nor should they. Pregnancy is a real thing and it's illegal. [/quote]

True, although I had a nurse friend who worked at a women's clinic that performed abortions and her contract explicitly stated that if she got pregnant, she would be moved to a different part of the clinic where she had no interaction with those having an abortion or considering one.  When she did get pregnant and started showing, she was moved to STD screening and paperwork.  It wouldn't surprise me if other clinics had something similar or maybe even a fertility clinic.
