We've had a few deliveries lately. Loma de Luz Hospital is not officially open for deliveries, but when women show up ready to push a baby out and there is no time to send them to the city, we take them in. Of course, I think it's a blast! It has helped us to get a little more organized, write some protocols and prepare for the future. It also points out the incredible lack of training that our nurses have in Obstetrics. In nursing school they may spend from 1-3 weeks total on 
a labor and delivery unit. It is a big change from a hospital where our labor nurses had MANY years of experience and were our teachers at first. Now, I have to explain every little thing. It is helpful though to know how basic we will have to start with our education. Now if we could just get some more nurses to train!!!
