When our patients answer our "how can I help you meet your goals?" Answers: Help me avoid a cesarean! Help me avoid unnecessary interventions! They still have to sort through our recommendations through their own safety filter. #traumainformedcare #obnurse #nurses #peanutballs

I used to think that, as a nurse, I was a patient advocate. But when the laboring patient begged for food and I was instructed to follow policy: ice chips and clear liquids only. Who was I really advocating for? #traumainformedcare #obnurse #nurseeducation #laborandelivery

Biggest mistake OB departments make with peanut balls - NO whole-team training. Wrong size = harm + surgery! 💥L&D units with peanut balls - let's add some annual in-services and drop that cesarean rate in 2023 💥 #traumainformedcare #obnurse #nurses #peanutballs #nurseeducation
