Thanks for your reply and you're right, California is big. I was looking more at South Orange County.

Hi! I'm hoping there might be a couple of nurses who currently work in OB, who live in California, who would be willing to share their ideas, likes, dislikes and current (rough idea) of their salaries. I am a student in the nursing field and will be giving a presentation soon on Maternity nursing and am having some difficulty in finding current information on this subject. Most of the materials are 2 or 3 years or older and I was hoping for more current information. I did post this question in both the student section and in Obstetrics, but I live here in California and will be practicing here when I graduate, so hearing from someone who also lives in California, will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello! I am giving a presentation on Maternity Nursing soon and am having some difficulty in hearing from a current OB nurse as to what a typical day is like. I am still a student and did ask this question in the student section, but figured a nurse, working in Maternity right now would have the best answers! I am hoping to go into L&D once I graduate. I am a bit older, have 3 children myself and have some idea of L&D, however I had my last child 17 years ago and I am sure things are different now! Any information you'd like to share, I'd greatly appreciate. Along with any resources you might recommend as to finding this info. out. Also...any new grads, in California, starting out in Maternity...would you be willing to share a rough idea of starting pay on this field? Thanks in Advance!
