Hello, I am A RN about to start my 1st job in post-partum.Eventually I will be cross trained in L&D and NICU. I'm excited as I have always wanted to be an L&D nurse, but I am most recently coming from a Tele step down unit, which is obviously very different. Any tips as I transition? 0 Likes

I have been checking the boards for posts about this for days and have yet to come upon one that is relevant to our situation that is not years old. Hopefully more people will respond. 0 Likes
