Thank you both for all.your information. There are a few thing I am.aware of that scare me. For example, I was in the room with my.laboring friend when her baby died, so I know bad things could and do.happen in that sense. I am scared of that, and learning how to deal with angered laboring women. I have seen nurses treat first time.mothers so rude and no regard for their feelings. The nurse said, "I have been doing this for 20 years." And that's great, but the patient hasn't and they are scared. It's important.to remember their feelings too.I would love to get to be that person's nurse instead of.some.of the nurses I have seen. But I havnt looked at it from the other perspective either!what if I don't like it !? So thank you for that! I will keep my eyes open and thank you for all.your much needed advice! Sorry my "period" button is right next to my space bar on my.kindle, so there are random periods everywhere! Lol

So, in have been obsessed with pregnancy, babies, and labor& delivery since I was very young. I have researched it, I have birthed 3 babies, I love it. I have had my share of bad nurses, good nurses, and ones that really made a difference. My friends are convinced if I do anything besides become a labor and.delivery nurse I will be wasting my.life. and now I am super excited about the idea of being that nurse for that first time mom, being that nurse that made a difference for her, so she doesn't have to look back and HATE nurses and birthing and hospitals. Or for the mom who has had a bad experience before and just be the awesome nurse I think every expecting mother needs, so this time she can say she had an awesome nurse! But how do I get a job In this area!? Is l&d hard to get into?

Do you know of any books that you would recommend?

Thank you so much! that is very good to know. I am less worried now. I cannot remember I thing from my high school bio. Maybe kids will not only exhaust you but also wipe your memory!

So, I just decided to pursue nurisng as my degree.. I am so excited. Looking at my school website I realized that I have to take the teas test. But it says for teas tests for fall2016 the testing window is September 2015-to march 2016. So if I want to apply at the end of fall 2016, I have to take my teas by March 2016. Problem is by the end of March, I will still have not taken any of my biologies! Is this something I can effectively study for using my ati manual and pass??? I was hoping to take the teas the September before I apply, since the application isn't due till January and I can still take a class to.count towards admission winter quarter. As long as it's finished and graded by April first. Is that strange that they say the testing window is only till march 2016 for fall 2016? I would have figured I had till the day I applied?
