All I ever wanted to be was a L&D nurse, it was the whole reason I went to nursing school. After interning as a MB nurse, I landed a job as a new grad in L&D. After being here for almost a year and a half, I am just not finding it to be what I was hoping. It is much, much more stressful than I ever imagined and I'm always super anxious, waiting for "something" bad to happen. Even when I'm not at work, I find myself in a constant state of anxiety.
I think back to when I was in MB and I never felt that way. Of course I would have a busy shift which would be stressful, but it's not the same as the stress and anxiety I always feel in L&D. I am thinking that maybe, at this point in my life, I would be happier in MB. Has anyone else ever transferred from L&D to MB? It usually seems to be the other way around. If so, were you happy with your decision?
