Hi!

I hope I am in the right place! I am a mother baby nurse and I am new to allnurses.com

Welcome, you may want to check out the OB specialty nurse forum

[newmommy1331]

I thought I was in the OB forum? All of the topics are L&D and PP related

[GrumpyRN63]

Isn't PP mother/baby nurse?? It is in my world...

[newmommy1331]

Yes PP is mother/baby. I guess I am confused. Is there a separate board for mother/baby nurses?

looks like you're in the right place to me welcome

I guess I was tired last noc, thought I was in general nsg discussion , but am I realllllyy old now or is there a difference between postpartum and mother/baby nurse, Isn't it the same place/job with a new title like "Labor and Birth". Where I am I guess it's not politically correct to use Labor and"delivery" but now we must labor and birth, any other new fangled changes in semantics us old timers need to know????

Mother baby is where the baby's go to after birth and cared for, they are taken to their Mothers for feeding and bonding. PP is where the mother go to after delivery, she recuperates and goes to motherbaby (there are about two dozen healthy babies kept with their IDs) to pick her baby up and feed him. Visitors and other family members can peek through the windows of motherbaby and stare at the cute babies.

I have never heard of that before! Where I am from PP and Mother Baby is the same thing!

I'm gathering its a new name for the NURSERY???
