What a difference a day makes

Published

Welllllllllllllllllllll......... I started my new position in PP yesterday. It was actually kind of slow ( we had 2 pts and 1 went home), so I got to read alot of unit specific info. When I left yesterday afternoon we had 1 baby. When I got back this am we had 8!! Tomorrow we are looking at 4 inductions and 2 hysters. Keep in mind that we have 2 off service pts on the floor because the house is full as of today. Amazing how things can change in a day. Anyone else seeing a full house lately???????

WEll, now the demand for doulas is not as high as the amount of them that we have here from what I understand from discussing it with my OB/GYN when I was there. I'm just not ready to take anything else on along with school either. I also wouldn't want to step on the doulas toes that are here. There are two of them (I think that's all) and wouldn't want to take away from their clientele when I am preparing to be a nurse anyways, KWIM? People around here just don't have the extra money to spend on doulas and since we have midwives working in the area, many people don't feel the need for the additional support (though I don't know why!).
