[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work as a nurse.  We wake people up multiple times in the night to check their vital signs, give meds, and draw blood.  Those post-surgery patients are not getting a restful night of sleep.

those patients should have their sleep protected too. not to mention that a woman with an uncomplicated vaginal birth does not need vitals checked.

disrupted sleep in the hospital was absolutely nightmarish for me post-partum. like, I actually almost felt delusional the second night. [/quote]
[b]You can sleep or we can make sure that you aren't bleeding out, showing signs of an infection, or having dangerous changes to your blood pressure.  If you think you don't need that, then you should just go home. Making sure patients stay alive is more important than making sure patients have uninterrupted sleep[/b].  [/quote]
BS. If nurses were actually providing quality care and making sure women weren’t bleeding out, showing signs of infection, or having dangerous changes to blood pressure we wouldn’t have an[b] epidemic of black mothers dying after childbirth[/b]. So don’t pretend your cursory interruption just to wake up a sleeping postpartum mother is actually preventing any medical crisis. [/quote]

The nursing staff is usually not the most educated lot in the medical profession. [/quote]
Exactly. So PP’s little savior speech that “she’s saving lives or patients in need of recovery post medical procedure can go home” can FO. She’s not providing any type of care that saves lives.[/quote]
