I am a senior nursing student LOVING my OB clinicals and am really considering it as a career.
I have asked my preceptor nurses about whether they thought it was better to start out in PP or Ante and then move to L&D (if I want) or vice versa. One said L&D possibly too fast of a pace for new grad and one said if you start in L&D you get to see the whole picture, which would make you more successful in PP or Ante. Both viewpoints make sense to me.
What is your opinion? I am also looking for the easiest transition from being a student to a Graduate Nurse.
In addition, I have heard a lot about the liability involved in OB. Is it huge enough to keep me away from the field? I am scared. :smilecoffeecup:
Can you give me what you consider to be the PROS and CONS of OB nursing??
THANK YOU!!
