Going back to nursing

[LVN to RN]

I was a Mother Baby LVN (LPN to most of you!) for almost 4 1/2 years. I took my RN boards 1 week before I had to move to Europe for 2 years. I'm moving back to the States in less than 2 months and am getting anxious about going back to work.

To any of who work in postpartum, how would you regard a person in my situation who was coming to work on your unit? I considered myself a very good M/B LVN and at the time felt I could make the jump to RN without any problem. I was trained in newborn admit assessment so it's just the antepartum patients that I haven't been trained to take care of.

Thanks for any input you might have.
