How many of your hospitals have a nursery still?

How many of you used it?

Neither hospital in my town has a nursery anymore (for around 4 years now). There is a small nursery your baby goes to if it needs extra care for jaundice or body temp or blood sugar or anything else minor not requiring the NICU; but there just isn't a nursery to send your baby to to get a break. The nurses will come check every couple hours overnight, they're in and out during the day, and they can watch your baby at the nurses station or maybe the nursery if no one is there to watch it while you shower. I'm just surprised because my hospital made it sound like everyone was getting away from nurseries as an added protection to avoid mixups, and for security reasons in general.
