Depends on the hospital and how full the NICU/SCN is at the time. Both times we were in they were virtually pushing bubs out the door to another hospital because the NICU was so full of babies. Doesn't help that's it's the only hospital in the state that takes babies less than 34 weeks gestation either (except for the Children's Hospital which generally only takes the really sick and surgery bubs). It's best to ask your private hospital of the what if, ask them what criteria they have for a transfer. For instance my local hospital will only take babies after 2kg, with no tubes or monitors, when they are ready to go home anyway.
