When you get out of school, just make sure you look for an internship in L&D. That way, you will be the most prepared.
Even after the internship, most nurses in my internship group took about a year to be "comfortable".
It's definately worth it though! It's very rewarding, and you can positively impact the most important day in a mother's/ family's life.
You can definately do it! Best of luck to you!!!
hi don't let no one discourage you away from your dream L&D is also my dream i worked in maternity for 7 years as a nurses aide and currently in LPN school ,as a lpn i will not be able to work there i mean i can but as a tech and why would i go from LPN to tech. so in the spring i will start LPN to RN transition course. because i already have all of my pre requistes. so don't give up and follow your dream

SOOOOOOOO BAD!!!! Im so jealous of you all. I hope I can do it. Im planning on going to a community college to take the classes I need. Anytime I talk to anyone about it they're always like its VERY hard. Which Im not expecting it to be easy, but they say it like I cant do it. My cousin is in nursing school right now and we're planning on talking one day next week about it. She said it's intense but she loves it.
