How is the transition from ICU or med surg to Labor and Delivery? Advice?
November 7th, 2022
First of all, the patient staff to nurse ratio from ICU to L&D is pretty much the same 2:1 most days. Med surg is more obviously. L&D is very fast paced, you. Never know what will be coming in to the unit at any given shift. Being prepared is of utmost importance with a well oiled team, ready for a stat c/s or a precipitous delivery or for any OB emergency. ICU is a specialty as well as Labor and delivery but so very different.
