Feel free to add your own!

Since I just left this floor, I’m gonna start with:

Postpartum Nursing

Pros: Get to see babies, care for mom and dad in a stressful time, lots of patient education for newborn care and postpartum care, monitor for signs of postpartum blues/depression, lots of teaching, patients are healthy (if you don’t like overly sick populations), since it is more education it isn’t as physically taxing as other areas of nursing, slower paced

Cons: Patients are generally healthy (if you want a sicker population), there are not a lot of skills done (such as IVs), most of the job is doing assessments and monitoring for complications followed by sending mom/baby home, not incredibly fast paced.

Please add some more! It’s almost 1am and I can’t think of anything else. My brain is dead.

Love,

Laney
