Transfer to PPU

Do you transfer delivered patients to PPu or does pp come to get patients? 

It was brought to my attention recently that labor nurses are high acuity and should not be leaving the floor to transfer. Post partum nurses are lower acuity and should be retrieving patient. It is more appropriate for them to abandon the floor for transfer then labor nurses. 

This made sense to me. I think we move to ppu because that what we have always done but now I think we need to reevaluate.

What do you do?

    At the hospitals where I've worked, either an L&D nurse or an L&D tech transported the patient to PP.

    L&D nurses have only the one mother/baby patient at time of transfer, whereas PP nurses may have several other patients. Logically, it makes sense for me that the L&D nurse do the transfer. 

    (I'm an L&D nurse in case you're wondering. )

    One mother -baby would be amazing. Unfortunately most the time we have other patients. We need to find someone to watch the other patient/strip while transferring off the floor.
