1. L&D to Mom Baby transition?

   airwin.rnc replied to airwin.rnc's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks DrMissitRNfixit. That might be an option, pretty sure I could try it for awhile and go back if wasn’t a fit, they just did a very attractive Voluntary Exit Program so that’s what a lot of nurses did. And now we’re short staffed...? Six years t...

2. L&D to Mom Baby transition?

   airwin.rnc posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hello! I’m once again going through a “I need a change” phase. Have been doing labor for 15 years, reached this point about every 5 but have not acted on it. Most of the time I like what I do, I like my peeps, but I think I’m finally ready for a chan...

3. Quantifying blood loss (grrr...)

   airwin.rnc replied to airwin.rnc's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hello all- My hospital system just jumped on board with this new initiative that is supposed to help prevent an acute pp hemorrhage from occurring (this was the rationale given, I don't believe our system is above average in occurrences). It requires...

   Hello all- First, some background. I am considering a PACU internship as a way to change specialties (currently have done L&D for the last 9 years, a couple years telemetry before that) I like L&D but am ready for a change, one of the reasons...

8. Any former L&D nurses out there?

   airwin.rnc replied to airwin.rnc's topic in Pediatric

   Thanks for the input. Your jobs sound enticing, especially the invested parents. Do you work for private agencies or govt. funded? I will definitely check into that possibility. As for switching depts. in the hospital, I'm afraid of going from the fi...

   Hi all, First-time posting (long-time lurker:lurking:) I am getting to the burn-out stage in my current position (L&D) and am considering a change, wondering if pediatrics might be a good fit. I love kids, avoided pediatrics at first because I th...
