  1. The Little L&D Nurse that Could

    Eileen Thai posted a topic in Ob/Gyn
    Hi Everyone, I currently work in the NICU, but I have always been interested in L&D. I just love how L&D nurses wear so many hats. They get to experience antepartum, the actual delivery, C-sections in the OR, and even PACU/Recovery! That is just so amazing to me and I think L&D nurses are so bad-***. The only issue is that I'm 4'11 and pretty small. I know a majority of L&D units do not hire patient care techs. Most laboring women are also on epidurals and are limited in movement. Do you think this career choice would be feasible for a small person like me? I'm just worried about not being able to move my patients, or injuring myself. Are there any smaller L&D nurses out there who can share their thoughts and experiences? Thank you!
