Additional Unit Information:
SCN staff are all assigned a full patient assignment in SCN
and also provide triage services to the regular nurseries:
sepsis risk evaluations, IV starts/meds, etc. SCN staff also
attend high and emergent births in Labor and Delivery with
budgeted annual births of 3,200. A newly created Maternal
Fetal medicine service at NWH has also impacted the SCN
with an increase in the number of multiple births and census
since budgeted projections for 2005 were made. SCN does
not have charge nurse per shift.
