Howdy, I am wondering if anyone has a polcy for new moms who are readmitted for therapy (in this case mom had fever on course of IV antibiotics). Mom is breastfeeing her baby and wants to keep baby with her. Baby is not a patient but the mom is. She is physcially able to do this (care for her baby while an inpatient). The question is, can she keep her baby with her by herself or does she need to have someone with her at all times that could assume the care of her baby(i.e. significant other or grandma). Thank you.:typing

There are bad apples in every basket. What I find, as the manager of all of these apples is that we "enable" people to act the way they do. PLEASE develop your assertiveness skills. SOmetimes you need to treat these people like you would your own children. You expect your children to treat others and you with respect and you don't tolerate it when they don't. Do Not allow your co-workers to act this way either. The more people who stand up and stop the chain of events from occurring can make a positive impact on the bad apples. Don't tolerate the behavior and you can make a difference. :-)

Thank you for your help.

I am looking for information on readmission of infants to the newborn nursery. Does anyone out there have a policy? If you do readmit to the nursery, who do you admit? What is the age cut-off? What guidelines to you use? How do you staff? You can contact me by e-mail. [email protected]. THanks :)
