In this episode we discuss the challenges that face the "happiest" unit in the hospital. Even the magic of birth is overshadowed by staffing shortages, poor morale and COVID illness in pregnant women. Our guest, Lani, discusses how she keeps the patient first despite setbacks on her unit. She pledges allegiance to her team and vows to keep going. I hope her team honors her and knows how lucky they are to have her. Join us for this REAL perspective from an experienced labor nurse.
