Hi,
First off I want to say that I always learn so much from everyone who posts here. I am in the middle of a nursing career transition and hope to post here as an OB nurse myself someday:)
Now my question(s): I am interviewing for an L&D position and it will be on weekend nights (two 12 hr shifts). I'd always heard an old wives tale that more babies are born at night. From your experience, is this true? Are nights very busy in L&D because of deliveries or less staff? Is starting on nights tough for someone with no L&D experience (I am coming in from LTC). How crazy are twelve hour shifts in L&D? (The orientation is from 12 to 16 weeks learning OR, postpartum and L&D). How many couplets do you care for in postpartum?
Thanks for any replies!
