How many are PP nurses? LD nurses?

We have to work all areas in my unit. So I work alot of labor/delivery but you will also find me working mother/baby some nights. I like it that way. I stay current on different issues and it will be awhile before I burn out. :)

We do everything where I work too. It's basically on a shift to shift basis. I prob do L&D/antepartum eval half the time and then mother/baby/nursery the other half.

I am a postpartum nurse, but will be transferring to L&D in February.

I do postpartum well-mother/well-baby. Love it. Don't want to do L&D. Too much stress.

I've been out of L&D since July and I'm doing the happy dance

I worked in a small rural hospital - L&D did PP too . . our PP mom's went on the floor with our regular patients.

FOr the most part, we do all three areas, although I hate nursery and am not usually assigned to it. I'm primarily L&D, although now that I'm 6 months pregnant, I'm finding it more difficult and have been doing more postpartum the last month.

I was postpartum, antepartum, SCN and L&D, as well as peds when I worked at the hospital. Now I work in home care, for all maternal-child health (mom/baby visits, sick children, high risk antepartum, and preemies)

I worked L&D before our family moved overseas. We did not rotate our PP and nursery were a separate unit. I am not currently working right now, but am hoping to find a job. I would love to work L&D but they do not have any openings right now.

Wow! I didn't realize so many places combined everything. That must be very exciting and definately a way to keep your skills up! Our hospital has a seperate L&D, Mother/Baby and Antepartum and NICU. So right now I do mother/baby/newborn nursery. I'm looking forward to learning more and maybe checking out L&D one day. I started my career in a NICU and that was a bit much for me as a new grad, I'm really enjoying my Mother/Baby experience now.

The hospital I work in did 10,000 deliveries last year, so we are specialized. For those of you working postpartum, how many couplets do you usually have? We often have seven, sometimes eight.
