We don't have a nursery so we do the same as Klone . If it's a mag mom, and she has no visitors then we will open up the newbirn procedure room and the charge nurse would be assigned to the baby.

Definitely one of my favs!!! Commuter I pray all is well !

Yay,God, not science. I'm a firm believer that God had everything to do with the process, He created science after all.

I chart as I go. It does not take away from my bedside care.

No but pregnancy can

This is my pet peeve!

I'm so sorry . Don't give up, many people have had to start over but then succeeded.

If you're basing your decision on how other nurses act and feel about nursing than no you shouldn't become a nurse.

If we are the NAN nurse we do the admission assessment , meds and everything else needed on l and D. We take care of the baby until we are called to another delivery. At that time we quickly report of to the L and D nurse and go to the next delivery .

I would not feel comfortable. This violates the 5 rights. How do you know it's the right medication, and dose if you didn't witness her draw it up?

Our PP do assign apgars and provide resuscitation. We are NRP certified. However , if resuscitation is needed than we also call the NICU nurses and NPs to take over.

I took a 7 month break from the bedside and worked as a case manager that did not involve pt care. I returned to the bedside because I missed having my stretch of days off and me time during the week. I also missed pt care. I may want to try mon-fri again someday but right for right now it just doesnt work for my life.

You're most welcome !

Please tell me I'm not the only one who find your post unnecessary and irrelevant.
