I am currently workIing as an RN in High Risk Labor and Delivery at University of Louisville Hospital. I will have been there 9 years on October 4,2013. Many of the high risk patients are transferred from the private hospitals to our unit. I maintain a strong reputation for achieving high levels of patient satisfaction. When a patient is initially in my care, I register her in bed control and obtain admission information for our unit. I am a labor nurse for vaginal deliveries. All charting is done electronically on WatchChild at bedside. All medical orders are put in and taken off CPOE; electronic charting. As nurses, we will put in verbal orders electronically. I work in our 4 bed triage unit on the L & D unit. I prep patients for OR and work as circulating nurse for Cesarean Sections, D&Cs, Bilateral Tubal Ligations, etc, then recover them. I work Antepartum and Post-Partum. Kangaroo Care is promoted on our unit so unless the infant is pre-term or has complications, the infant is in my care for 2+ hours where I do the initial baby assessment, breastfeeding is encouraged, and then mother/baby are transferred to the Post-Partum unit.

I am very involved with Antepartum patients and their unique set of needs; especially long-term. I have put a cart together that gives them reading material, game books, crayon and coloring books, and journal books which are helpful therapy. I am a good listener and having been a 20-week antepartum patient myself, I know words of encouragement to help them be more compliant to doctor orders.
I am cross-trained on NICU in Transition; caring for two infants through the 12-hr shift; doing all assessments, care, and electronic charting.
