L&D Fundamentals Refresher videos

Published

Hi everyone,

I am a new graduate and I have accepted a position in L&D which I am super excited about, because it is my dream specialty! However, I am starting to feel nervous as I have been out of nursing school job hunting and working in a non nursing job for more than six months. Can anyone recommend a series of videos I can watch to reinforce the basics of L&D and PP? I am happy to pay for online content, but what I really want is videos that I can just play over and over while I do things around the house until I begin - I am not wanting to get CLEs or be required to pay for any tests or anything. I have googled a lot but the only things that are coming up seem to be geared toward how to prepare for an interview as a new grad. I am really looking for a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of maternity nursing. Thanks for any ideas.
