I work in Canada and our unit is positively MASSIVE. It comprises a whole floor, NICU, Antepartum (bedrest AP's and delivered C/S), LBRP unit and HR L&D. We have one OB on call for the whole unit and with about 400 births/month and often 5-8 inductions scheduled, we, unfortunately *catch* a lot of the babies because the OB is tied up in the OR or doing another delivery at the other end of the building. I have been doing L&D nursing for 3 years and myself, delivered 16 babies.
