I enjoy working with the moms to make sure they are prepared to care for their babies when they go home. Price has a short time to do her instructional work, since the hospital stays of new moms are normally only two days following a vaginal delivery and 72 hours following a Caesarean delivery. To be sure every point of advice is covered, Price goes through checklists with every patient. One list concerns the care of the mother, the other the care of the infant. We make sure they know when to call the doctor, to recognize when something might be serious and might need medical attention.
Price enjoys working in a hospital in a small town and lives in a smaller town.
It's a family oriented hospital. Everybody knows everybody. Price earned her RN diploma in 1979 after three years at Community Hospital School of Nursing in Springfield, and worked in labor and delivery at the hospital for six and a half years. She came to Wilson a year ago, and her previous work includes eight and a half years at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. Price's career plan is to continue working right where she is.
