thanks, I don't think my facility will care either but, our managers are ok and will be accommodating. I do work in ortho so we don't get a lot of random diseases but of course it always happens. I had hoped to not tell anyone for another month, until after I tell my family. getting a lighter patient would be a dream, but that's exactly what it will be, a dream that's okay though i'm use to it thanks for your replies that website helped also

I just found out i'm pregnant and I know that there are some patient rooms I should avoid like cytotoxic, pts with shingles are there any others you guys can think of thanks

I am currently working in ortho/neuro for the last 2 years (we also have quite a bit of med/surg) I have always known I wanted to work in L&D, I am getting married in one month and just looked to see that there is a full time opening in the birthing center at a hospital an hour away, now we have talked about moving to this city anyway and especially since I hate my current job, this seems to be a good time. my concern is that I have absolutely no background in this and that it's a month from me getting married and taking two weeks of vacation for the wedding and honeymoon ( I don't want that to mess up a new opportunity) does anyone have any ideas to make this transition smoother or any research magazines, books, websites so that I can have some sort of introduction to this at least. thanks in advance. this absolutely terrifies me but I desperately need a change not only in the area that I work in but I need a whole new hospital to work at. (I love being a nurse but hate the hospital I work at)
