Learn About Postpartum Nursing with Nurse Erinn (Ep 29)
Are you interested in maternity nursing? In this interview episode, Nurse Erinn shares everything you need to know about working in the postpartum unit. She breaks down what a typical shift looks like for postpartum nurse, detailing the tasks and responsibilities involved in caring for new mothers and their newborns. She also gives an overview of what a mother and baby assessment look like, and lists common conditions and medications that maternity nurses encounter. Erinn shares tons of knowledge, so this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about working in this unit!
NOTE:
Erinn wanted to add that L in BUBBLE also stands for lochia (bleeding). We of course want to check on that as post partum nurses. Clots larger than an egg are concerning, and obviously bleeding too much is too. A woman should be concerned if she is soaking a normal sized pad in an hour or less.
