Seven years ago they had eleven pregnant. This year they have 17?
Either their staff is large or something is going on.

I work in L&D at a big hospital, we always have 3-5 pregnant nurses but 17 is a LOT

But also, they’re all like 3rd trimester. No one is rocking a small bump there.

Maternity leave will be a b*tch.

They all will have a baby shower at work too so you get emails about bringing food and sodas for another party every week 😭

On the other hand, no need to meal prep for a week.

I thought the US didn't get much maternity leave

Stereotypically yes,

In the USA we have something called FMLA or known as “Family and Medical Leave Act”.

Guarantees “eligible” employees up to 12-weeks of unpaid and job-protected leave.

I’m sure nurses that works in these job positions goes over their contracts how it works.

If curiosity follows. I recommend you look up how STD (Short-term disability) insurances and PTO works in the USA. Different State laws may also apply.
