Where I work, it is a policy that Mag can only be administered in Labor & Delivery or ICU. It is scary to me to think of a Mag patient being on a PostPartum floor. However, in L&D they don't always have ideal patient ratios so the care might be comparable. But, to me, a Mag patient is a L&D patient, not PP.
OB nurses that have cared for patients of fetal demise or infant death, how do you keep from taking it home with you? Has there ever been a situation where, no matter how hard you tried, you could not get it out of your head? I am having trouble sleeping and having horrible nightmares and cannot seem to get a recent situation off my mind. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
