ED to LDRP - advice, please!

Published

I graduated Dec 2014 and started Feb 2015 in a level 1 trauma center/adult ED. Now that I've been there almost a year, I realize it's not for me. I've always been interested in women's health (ED was choice #1 and Women's Services was #2) so when an RN position in an LDRP unit at another hospital basically fell into my lap last week, I scooped it up. Here's where I need your help...I haven't touched anything maternity/neonatal since school! I contacted my instructor who was gracious enough to give me a textbook to review since I've gotten rid of everything from school. What resources would be helpful as I make the transition from adult ED to LDRP? Websites, books, blogs....recommendations, please!
