Day 10

Today was my first day on 2 South which is the postpartum floor. This is where the newborn babies and their mother go after giving birth. Once I arrived I met the woman who would be training me, Joanne. She was very sweet and excited to have me which made me feel good. After we met she told me a little bit about herself and that she was originally a teacher but decided that she would rather be doing this. She's the unit secretary which means she just keeps the floor running. Joanne makes sure that everything is running smoothly on the floor. She's really fun and interesting to shadow. Today after meeting her she took me to the crib room and showed me how to get a crib set up for a new room. Then she took me to the nursery to get the supplies. The babies in there were so cute. After that I organized the towels and sheets in the closet. That took a pretty long time. After that I went to grab lunch my lunch was pretty good but hospital food is not the best. When I came back to the floor I made up green bags. Those are the bags that they give the new moms. Then I went to the nursery and restocked it for the new babies coming in. Although my day doesn't seem that interesting. I was surrounded adorable babies all day so that definitely helped.
