A Sad Farewell
This was our final week at Valley Hospital, and let me tell you it was hard saying goodbye to the staff that taught us so much since September. It was great learning more about what it's like to be a nurse/doctor. Thank you Labor and Delivery, Bergen Mother Baby and also Ms. Annitti for giving me this opportunity to pursue my future career!

Cribs
Week 5/7-5/9
The staff asked us to set up cribs. In the drawer you put a pack of diapers, three shirts, two burping towels, napkins, an extra blanket and a pillowcase. A pillowcase is used to cover the mattress for the newborn. A burping towel is for the baby to lay its head on in case they burp up and a blanket is for the baby to be wrapped in. Every newborn gets a little baggy for the mother to use which includes:

The Nursery
Week 4/30-5/2
Not a lot of patients so it wasn't busy so we went to the Cheel part of the hospital to see if the nursery needed help. They had us fill the big cabinet with new shirts, blankets, and towels. Then we went up to the new part of Bergen Mother Baby which is now on the 4th floor and did the same thing. We dropped off materials at the NICU but are not allowed in because we're still in high school and only college graduates have permission.
