Hi ColleenS401, I totally feel your pain. I have been an L&D nurse for nearly 5 years. I was so passionate and loved my job for the first 3 years. I just don't have them anymore. Now, I am thinking getting out of L&D altogether. The stress coming from urgent situations like placenta abruptiion, PPH, STAT section etc. Lately, I have seen way more those complicated cases and they are definitely taking a toll on me. I am not thinking about leaving nursing, but change the specialty, pace and regain confidence I believe I had once. Hope you found your best solution.
