Hi everyone! I know this is a long shot, but I would love to get in touch with nurses who work in L&D, specifically at Hoag because honestly I am not familiar with southern california hospitals. I am in my last semester of the BSN program at CSU, Chico and have had a wonderful experience here, but miss my family and plan to move back when I graduate in December. I have really reached out and tried to gain as much experience in L&D as one could in nursing school and landed a great job in a small hospital birthing center as a tech and have taken advanced fetal monitoring! I plan to get more certs if someone tells me it is necessary! I really wanted to see if new grads are hired in L&D. Also, I had questions about how the unit is set up. Is it couplet care or do moms move after labor. Where I work now nurses do it all LDRP. But, when I was researching Hoag there were positions for mom/baby and I guess I really don't know if that means recovery nurse/baby nurse/postpartum or is it a completely separate section? I would like to start in mother/baby and cross-train to L&D after working for a year or two because there is so much to learn and I really want to be exceptional with my assessment skills and comfortable with recovery and postpartum before doing it all. Anyone work at Hoag or heard anything? Any advice?
