I work at a hospital that does approx 1200 births a year. We have LD and Mother Baby--we are assigned to work one or the other each shift. If you are assigned to MBU each nurse is assigned 1st, 2nd, 3rd delivery or admit. When we have a delivery the nurse leaves her assigned patients to go to the other side to catch the baby. It takes about an hour from start to finish all the while the nurses on mbu try to manage their patients and yours too--which sometimes is near impossible with all that goes on. We do not have a well baby nursery. We don't have a cna-each nurse is responsible for her couplets,gyns,long term antepartums. Just curious how this is done at other places. Staffing does not allow for just one nurse to attend all deliveries and not have an assignment.
