 Duke Transitional Care Nursery

• Twelve convalescent beds.
  

• Two "Care-by-Parent" rooms are used to facilitate the transition from hospital to the home environment by allowing parents a 'trial run' in caring for their infant in a secure environment.
• Providers in the TCN take a multi-disciplinary, developmental care team approach. Physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, therapists, dietitians, lactation consultants, and family members work together in developing a manageable home program suitable for the individualized needs of the infant.
• Convalescent care of ELBW infants, chronic lung disease of infancy, feeding problems, infants with non-acute surgical, neurosurgical, and sub-specialty medical issues.
