Any additional information that would entice a worker to select your unit for their assignment:
This post-partum unit is a close-knit family of nurses and PCTs who work very well together as a team on a very busy post-partum unit. The patients are high risk, with the low-risk patients separated out on a free-standing LDRP that is across the street. Scheduling is flexible, and we are willing to work with the traveler. The Hospital delivers between 400-500 babies per month.
