I recently started a new job in L&D. I was previously a postpartum nurse for 5 years. I assumed that my competence in postpartum would set me up for success in L&D. However, I feel as this is not the case. I often get disheartened because I am just over halfway through orientation, but feel as though I’m not progressing as I should be. I have multiple preceptors and I feel as though a few think I should be further along than I am. They have never said that, but I just get the vibe. I always seem to hear more negative things I do than positive. Has anyone made this change and felt the same way?
