I can't believe some of the entries on this blog. As professionals, we need to embrace facts, not react to unfounded concerns. MRSA will not transmit to mother's or babies if you observe the precautions. Gloves, gown and handwashing for MRSA and C. Diff. Do you know how many of your patients in OB (the 'clean' floor) are MRSA carriers too? Depending on your location, maybe 25%. In poorer communities, higher rates exist. Average is 7-10%. So OB is no 'cleaner' than the med surg floors.
