Geez, Hoppermom, I read what you wrote and thought, Dang, that sounds just like my month.....and then I realized, um, we work at the same facility. Here's to a better month in March!

I work as an LPN in Mother-Baby/Nursery/Postpartum. I had extensive experience as a lactation educator/support and childbirth educator before getting my LPN, and I am currently in school for my RN, so that might have helped me get my foot in the door for OB. However, even though I work in a very small rural hospital, my nurse manager said that they would not be hiring any more LPNs after I'm finished with school, because it's difficult to staff with an RN and an LPN on duty, and three labors come in. If I were an RN, I could take one of the labor patients.
