   obosoon replied to newnurse.rs's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I've been in a leader role in OB for longer than I like to admit and have known several nurses who are so overwelmed in the first week that I worry whether they will come back for another. We have a small unit that has antepartum, L & D, postpart...
