Hey all I am a new grad nurse and I am wondering when I finnally:stone get a job how in the world am I going to continue to breastfeed.
How does breastfeeding work with 12hr schedules?
Have any of you nurses done it?
Not to mention it will be my first nursing job and its not like I can walk on the floor and ask someone else to cover my patients. I have an interview for the ICU and I just want to make this work. I am really concerned and not working isn't an option anymore. My son will be 6 months old and I am desperately trying to get in at least 1 full year of breast feeding. I think of all the nurses and myself encouraging breastfeeding among new mothers and when it comes to myself I can't because I proabably won't get a break. When will holistic care apply to nurses too?
What do I do?
Maybe I am worrying for nothing but I don't feel like I am.
PLEASE any suggestions for any nursing nurse mothers. HELP!!!!!
