I am 17 and in high school. I need to complete a job shadow for my high school. I've always been interested in L&D so I talked to the nurse manager of my community hospital about it. She said they do not do shadows in L&D because the doctors don't like it. I was wondering if this is true for most hospitals or if I should contact other hospitals around me. Thanks! Marissa

I was just wondering in each of the hospitals you all work at approximately how many deliveries a day there are and if days ever go by where therre are none.

Hi Everyone!! I am 17 and would like to pursue a career in L&D. Always have. I know some hospitals have volunteers in L&D and OB from reading some previous things on here. I thought this would be a good way to go up there and actually see if it is really what I want to do. What exactly are some of the things volunteers do there? And also, does anyone know if volunteers are ever allowed in the delivery rooms to witness a birth or c-section? Thanks so much, Marissa.
