Week Three

Congratulations! You have just been promoted to nurse manager of the Mother/Baby or Labor & Delivery unit (your choice). Your first task is to keep the excellent level of patient care even though your hospital is adding 7 new obstetricians on staff and adding more patient rooms. List one important thing you will do to secure excellent patient care. Give rationale for your choice. Please do not use a strategy that another student uses.

Week Two

I really enjoyed week one's posts. Your insights are amazing.

Review at least 5 of the philosophy surveys on the WIKI. How did the philosophies of the nurses you worked with today differ from those you reviewed? Do you think nurses philosophies change over time? If so, why do they change? What must the new nurse do to keep thee most ideal philosophy for the remainder of their practice?

Week One

What were your first impressions about this clinical rotation? Please discuss the facility, the patient care your observed, and staff interaction with other members of the healthcare team. How does this area differ from a medical-surgical unit?
