Anyone a CNM for the VA? One of my aunts I'm close with was a L&D RN in the Navy and has since retired and now does outpatient for the VA. She talks about how great the VA is all the time. Now...
I'm trying to decide what I want to go back to school for.
I love labor and delivery but it does get tiring after a while. I've also learned that I really like the GYN side of things as well....
Hi! I've most definitely looked into the dual cnm/whnp but I love in Georgia and there arent any here anymore, the closest "online" dual program near me is Georgetown and the tuition is too expensive....
I began my nursing career in 2020 as a night shift mother/baby nurse. LOVED caring for the babies but the patents kind of annoyed me, and I was always tired/sleepy.
Left after a year and became a...
To be completely honest, I think (and havr been told by those close to me) that I seemed my happiest/most at ease when I was a postpartum nurse. It was an easy job, not stressful at all, and I loved...
Im tired of it as well honestly. I've realized that im looking for a unicorn when it comes to a "perfect job" where nothing annoys me or makes me wanna quit, and that doesn't exist. So im trying to...
So L&D has always been my dream specialty. I've been a nurse 2 years and some change now and have worked so hard to get to L&D and I finally got here. I've been here at a very busy and high...
So I have 2 dogs, a 1 1/2 year old and a 3 month old. Im also a full time night shift l&d nurse. Before you say anything, I know, don't judge me. Im having the hardest time creating a routine for...
The 1 1/2 yr old is a 5lb goldendoodle. The 3 months is a 4 lb toy poodle. Theyre both pretty active and do an amazing job at keeping each other occupied so I can have tiny breaks throughout the day....
Hi everyone. I've got a question I’d like some feedback on. I've always loved maternity and, though im training to become an OR nurse currently, I plan to try and get into an L&D training...
I've been a nurse for about a year and a half now. I started as a postpartum nurse for a year and am now in a training program for OR nursing. My true passion though is babies and I want to become a...

@LibraSunCNM how have you liked being a CNM? Im so cautious about the time committment and work/life balance I've heard about with it. And im more interested in the OB side vs the GYN side so IDK how...
@LovingLife123 I appreciate your comment. At times I definitely feel like I made a mistake, but my dad always taught me not to cry over spilled milk. My heart is in maternity so Im gonna do my best to...
@jobellestarr I transferred here. I'll be done with the training in February and then a full fledged OR nurse after that. But I have learned the name of one of the managers in L&D and I have put...
@RNperdiem and @jobellestarr no no, its not demeaning at all!! The hospital I work at has a large maternity ward and is very busy. Postpartum, in speaking about the actual workload and types of tasks...
@jobellestarr I was a postpartum nurse for a year and realized I didn't like that part of the pregnancy process. But the hospital I work at, its hard to get into L&D on your own and I never had an...
So I'm in my last couple weeks of nursing school and have been job hunting. I recently accepted a position as a mother/baby nurse at a hospital about 25-30 minutes from my house. The hospital isn't...
So, according to Georgia State, my overall GPA is a 2.98, and my science GPA is a 2.44 currently. I've applied to 4 nursing schools for the fall 2016 semester (Ga Southern, Armstrong, Clayton and...
Hi, this may be a stupid question but I have to ask. I'm in my last semester of nursing school and currently searching for jobs (in maternity). I've always known about L&D mostly, but a lot of...
I need advice, badly. When I applied to nursing school I knew I wanted to become a Maternity/L&D nurse. That desire has only increased as I've progressed through my nursing program. I've also...
