Labor and Delivery Nurses

Hello Everyone,

I plan to work in the Labor and Delivery Unit soon. Any advice, stories, or tips to know before hand that can help me would greatly be appreciated. :)

    Under the specialties tab, you will find OB/GYN Nursing. At the bottom of the page is a search box that lets you search that particular forum. Searching "new grad" in just the OB/GYN returns a lot of threads that have some advice you can use.

    Are you an experienced RN? Which certification do you currently hold? I would recommend obtaining your NRP and STABLE before applying as it makes you a better candidate. BLS, ACLS, PALS and ENPC are required for my facility as an L&D RN, in addition to fetal heart monitoring which you will be required to take hopefully during your orientation. Asking "why" questions is a MUST in this specialty. Be sure you are good with multitasking and attention to detail, if you are a new grad, I definitely recommend that you get some good time on the med/surg floor to perfect your assessment skills. A lot of OB is focused assessments when things are running smooth, but one thing to remember in this area is things can be great, but when moms and babes take a turn for the worst, they crash hard. Good luck with your career path!
