Pros
Unit is traveler friendly. Higg standards for nursing care. Lots of post partum couplets to care for!
Cons
The pace on this postpartum unit is pretty frantic. Start the day with 4 couplets, discharge 2, admit 1-2. You won't ever stop moving. Drinks only allowed at the "hydration station" and food only in the break room. This was in 2021 so things may have changed.
