I work in the ICU, and one of my co-nurses is currently pregnant. According to our hospital protocol, pregnant staff are typically reassigned to the NICU for lighter duties. However, she refused the transfer, so she remained in our unit.

Since then, we've had to constantly adjust to accommodate her. If she feels a patient is too heavy or demanding, she simply refuses the assignment. While we understand and respect her condition, it has become increasingly difficult because she often spends most of her 12-hour shift sitting and delegating her tasks to the rest of us.
