Questions for L & D Nurse's....

Published

I am not a RN but hope to be. I have a couple of questions though. I wanted to know is it more common to work 8 or 12 hr. shifts in L & D? If you work/have worked a 12 hr shifts how many breaks do you get? Is it extreamly hard to do a 12 hr shift in L & D? How did you get your start in L & D? Do you injoy L & D (pro's and con's)? How is clinical in school? I want to be a L & D RN sooooo badly. I was just wanting to know a couple things. Any insight would be great !! Thanks

Some students NEVER see the inside of a NICU. It really depends on clinical sites. I know I never did.
