Dear Linda, It sounds to me like your dept needs a lot more than posters! You need some practice standards, the nurses then adhere to the standards or get written up, period. I do not buy the excuse that they are med surg nurses in an OB area. What if you as a OB nurse had to fill in over in med surg. Could you skip dressing changes or feeding the pt or turning s/he every 2 hours. If you omitted anything on med surg you would be called on the carpet and told to mend your ways! Same applies vice versa. Talk to the nursing supervisor in OB and of the whole hospital. Nurses are not allowed to just do the parts of patient care that they want to. They have to do all parts. Use your consumer pressure and new AAP guidelines. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
