MESA, Ariz. — A baby boom is brewing at a suburban Arizona hospital where 16 intensive care nurses recently discovered they are all pregnant. The nurses at Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa outside Phoenix joked Friday they thought there was something in the water when it became clear they were all expecting babies between October and January. Nurse Rochelle Sherman, nearly eight months along, said: “I don’t think we realized just how many of us were pregnant until we started a Facebook group.” Nurse Jolene Garrow joked, “We all formulated this plan to have the holidays off!” Garrow said that as their pregnancies have progressed, the patients have begun noticing that most of the nurses around them are expecting.
