If you are an L&D nurse, you have heard the phrase “here’s a ticket to the OR.” Instead of being opposed to any and all birth plans, what if we took another stance? What if we decided to be curious instead of judgemental? It is about time we start assessing our bias when it comes to birth plans. Do you know what is included in the patient bill of rights?
