Thank you L&D nurses

Published

Hi. I just wanted to thank all of the labor & delivery nurses out there. When I delivered my daughter in April, I had the best L&D nurse! She was absoulutly amazing!!

I would love to hear from L&D nurses out there. What do you like & dislike about labor & delivery? L&D is the speciality I want to go into to. Thanks

When I was in nursing school I didn't really think that I would end up in L/D. It was a rotation that I liked but not where I thought I wanted to work. Now that I work L/D I realize how much I love it now.

It is a wonderful place to work. It is such a wonderful gift to be able to be a part of the miracle of birth on a daily basis. I guess I am a little bit of an adreniline junkie but could never work ER so L/D curbs my needs.

L/D is not for everyone but it is an amazing place to work.

Glad that you had such a great experience..That sort of thing is why we do it...I never planned to be a labor and delivery nurse. I had had it with critical care and needed a change...The first thing that I saw was all that blood while helping a pt do peri care right after delivery, and then questioned my move..But, it didn't take long to figure out I was right where I was supposed to be, even though I never really planned it that way! Welcome to our world!

What a nice post. It was my delivery of my son, (the wonderful nurses I had) the inspired me to become an OB nurse, myself. So I know what you mean. I thank you for the very kind post!

For the same reasons, I am studying to become an OB nurse and I can't wait to return the wonderful care that I received when I was giving birth for the first time! It was an experience I will never forgot! I hope to one day return to thank the nurses who took care of me and inspired me to go after my dream.
