Thank you all - I'm going to call my manager today and tell her that I'll accept the position. I figure - how often does a manager approach you and say, I think you'd be good for this... Maybe she's trying to fill a need, maybe she actually does see it in me - who knows. There's only one way to find out.
I'm looking for some insight to OB nursing. My manager has asked me if I'd like to train as an OB nurse but I want some more information before I make a decision. I work at a small rural hospital and have two years experience as an RN (on Medicine/Pediatrics and a Post-Trauma floor). While in University I did not have an OB placement so any advice would be greatly appreciated. What is "a day in the life of an OB nurse?" Also - four months full time training - is that normal? Thanks!
