How to get the most out of PP clinical

I just started my OB rotation of clinicals. Its only 3 weeks long, so I want to make the most of it. Last night I got to see an NSVD! It was amazing. Next week I'll be in postpartum. Does anyone have any tips on getting the most out the experience? It seemed like my classmates who were in pp did a lot of standing around not doing much while they were there. Thanks.

    Focus on breastfeeding, how to manage a hemorrhage, magnesium administration (patho of why your giving mag, as well as the consequences of NOT giving it) post csection care. Also, it's likely couplet so you can focus on the baby and doing newborn assessments as well as learning how to recognize a baby who is hypoglycemic or going septic and what you would do at that point. If you don't see any of this, ask for protocols and your preceptors experience.

    This is my specialty area and prior to working in it, I was clueless.

    Feel every fundus you can. Lol.

    And PP moms usually don't need much as they are happy, busy with visitors, etc. When other nurses got pulled to the new life floor we were always given PP moms because they have the least specialized type care I suppose. I worked on a cardiac floor so I could pass some ibuprofen and Tylenol #3 and ask about bleeding. I'd have no idea dealing with a laboring mom or newborn.
