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

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

I guess I was tired last noc, thought I was in general nsg discussion :bugeyes:, 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???? :uhoh3: :nuke:

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.

Yes, you are in the right place. Feel free to browse around the forum and view/post on the threads we have, or feel free to post your own questions/issues/concerns.

In this neck of the woods, mother/baby is a unit wherein mothers and their healthy babies are cared for by one nurse, and the baby does not leave mom's room unless there is a problem or mom requests.
