    Calinurse4 replied to sarahaldean's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am on week 3 of what will be up to 6 months of training on the L&D unit. I will also be trained to float to postpartum at some point but that's not a priority with my training since they won't...

  8. Do you scrub and/or circulate c-sections?

    Calinurse4 replied to cosmicmama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just started in L&D last week as a new grad and already had a scrub class today. A little overwhelming to say the least! I am training for 6 months, so it's not like I'll be doing it anytime...

  12. Writing multiple times?

    Calinurse4 replied to loriangel14's topic in General Nursing

    I never really understood all the "studying for NCLEX"...isn't that what school was? At least my ADN program was designed like that. Every test was given NCLEX style and so when I actually took...

  13. New Grad L&D Interview

    Calinurse4 replied to Calinurse4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I went for the first interview it ended up being for postpartum, which was still fine with me, but soon after they decided to start a new grad group for L&D. I guess they just had to wait on...

    Calinurse4 replied to Calinurse4's topic in Ob/Gyn
