Planning on going there with my fam in late August. Looking for some all inclusive recommendations that are kid friendly that fit a family of 5.
We plan to go exploring as well. Def want beach access.
Everyone in the hospital thinks that post partum nurses sit down and cuddle babies all day, even our own MANAGERS. Every other unit looks down on us. In reality, it can get bad. Recently we are taking care of post sicu patients for 10+ days, severely hyperemetic antepartum who required a picc line, severely hypertensive post mag, that couldn't be discharged until that BP was handled. Mom's not passing their trial of voids. Multiple blood transfusions daily.
Newborns needing heel sticks and glucose gel, newborns needing 4 limb bp's ( that's always fun), newborns not feeding well, newborns showing signs of rds, so that admission takes forever bc docs say"it's transitional". Newborns going through withdrawal.
On top of that, we are expected to help with breastfeeding and help the engorged mother. Take milk to the NICU bc mom can't get there, do discharges, admissions, etc, while our techs are pulled to other units.
All of this while trying to get orders from docs, trying to get nicu attending to take our claims seriously, and residents who don't know what they are doing but have a God complex, and dealing with some combative patients or their visitors (psych women get pregnant too!)
I promise you, with the comorbities and complexities of pregnancy these days we are no longer just "cuddling babies" all day.
I will say that when we do get to cuddle the babies, it is nice.
