Hey everyone. I've worke at a high risk l&d for 2+ years (straight from nursing school). although we have 1 tech for the night shift, the RN does the laboring, assist in delivery. resus baby and tke care of mom. charge nurse is never present for dlelivery. we recover most pts for 2-3 hrs pp, unless theyre severe pec. then they stay with us 6 hrs pp and need to be re evaluated and pih labs sent and stable before tranferring.
