I am new to the forum but couldnt resist in commenting here....I am amazed at how you all have a 3-4 baby assignment with an admit!!!! I work at a level IV NICU (with ECHMO) and our census is usually around 35-50 kids give or take a few...in level III we always have 1-2 babies and the admit nurse only has a stable baby. The nurses who work on Level II ( or Special care nursery ) will generally have a 3 baby assignment unless we are REALLY busy then they might max out at around 4 kids.
