Do you or your team members attend deliveries?

Specialties NICU

I was just wondering if any of you attend deliveries, and if so, what is your role in the delivery room? My "old" facility does not; the one I am moving to does. I'm just curious what my role will be, since I've never done this before. Also, how long did it take *you* to feel comfortable participating in deliveries? Feel free to share; I'm trying to prepare myself as much as possible for this new job. :) Thank you!!

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PACU.

We all attended a Code Pink class and have NRP. But, with the residents and the NP's we don't go unless they call over for extra help or if there is more than one delivery being called. Too many people in one place.

If they call a delivery somewhere else in the hospital, say the floor or ER, or wherever then 2 of us go with the team with the transport isolette and our transport bag.
