Hi all! I start nursing school this fall and I'm starting to think about what I'd like to get into after graduation. Couple things .. 1. I know that I will have to put in my time just like any new grad. 2. That this could very well fallunder multiple specialties. 3. That I probably won't be able it get into L&D, or similar area until I gain experience. 4. I could end up liking something else With that being said.. I have been in LOVE with all things pregnancy,L&D,postpartum etc. I definitely know that there are some pretty intense lows in this specialty, but it touches my heart deeply. Over everything, I love teaching new moms. I love listening, teaching, giving advice, and supporting. I've thought about being a doula( not sure how this would fit into being a nurse), but that is very labor and delivery based. I have read a lot about postpartum nursing and how it is more teaching and guiding which totally sounds right up my block, but the other concept to all of this is that I'm a very "natural" and holistic person, so that is something I want to take with me into my career. So I guess my question is what area/job would fall under nursing/teaching and guiding/holistic medicine. I understand that not everyone agrees with holistic medicine, but please be respectful when giving your opinion. Thank you :)
