@chelseys370 3 года назад

I just got into nursing school and have been trying to find “day in the life” videos of different specialities to get an idea of what to expect. I’ve never considered L&D until watching your video, it seems like such a rewarding area to work in. I’m hoping to document my experience on RU-vid to add to the great videos out there like yours!

@AmyBales 3 года назад

I really love what I do. I feel like I make a huge difference every time in at work, which is an amazing feeling!

@Ecatgirluwu 2 года назад

Chelsey, while it is rewarding I don’t mean to discourage you but its good to be realistic and know that things will not always go perfect and there are many sad and difficult things that can happen in a labor and delivery room, that being said if you go in prepared for that of course it is also just as rewarding.

@AmyBales 2 года назад

Yes but it’s quite rare. I’ve been working for a year at a hospital that does around 350 deliveries a month and have yet to have a bad outcome or IUFD. The bad is far and few between and the good makes up for it.

@Haileigh-dj8oz 3 месяца назад

I am fourteen and my goal is to become a labor and delivery nurse. I loved this video and how you gave us as much information as needed in a short video without being in a rush to explain it

I am so proud of being a labor and delivery nurse! You wrapped up an average day beautifully! I think it would be interesting to share a video about the not-so-great days (i.e. code sections and/or bereavement support). Thank you for a showing how amazing our job is!

@AmyBales 3 года назад

This is such a great idea. After a particularly hard day, maybe I’ll write down how it went and film a video about it. Thanks for the idea!

@alybean4211 3 года назад

Labor and delivery nurses are the real SUPER HEROS!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 my first delivery I was clutching onto the nurse on every contraction when I got my epidural. My second delivery I progressed quickly and wanted an epidural but was already 10 CM. I was shocked and scared and screaming, cussing saying I was going to call the cops 😂😂😂 (Karen alert lmfao!) saying I was going to die. An Jamaican nurse came in and talked to me sternly and helped me catch my breath! They are saviors and I’m forever grateful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@AmyBales 3 года назад

We totally understand that you’re going through the worst pain of your life and we never take it personally! I’m pretty sure when I had my son I sobbed my baby out. Now I feel horrible because I always feel so bad when my mamas are crying in pain, because I feel so helpless. I probably made my nurse feel awful because I cried for hours when my epidural failed and I had to go natural. It all worked out in the end, but I have a lot of sympathy for moms in pain because of my experience! 💛

I got accepted into the clinicals program at my high school and can’t wait!! They’re allowing us to go a hospital and are giving us departments to “work” in!! I chose labor and delivery since I’m aspiring to become one after I finish school- you’re very inspiring and show that you love your job and I just know I’m gonna love it too!! 🧡

@Lifewithlayyy_ 3 года назад

i feel like anyone who doesn’t work in the medical field understands the excitement you get from helping someone in need. i’m currently about to start med school in august and cannot wait to feel this way just from talking to the nurses at my family’s doctors office makes me excited

@ktpile 3 года назад

I just graduated from nursing school, am taking the NCLEX soon, and am starting on postpartum in a month!!! I watched your interview video right before my interview when I was freaking out and it helped a ton. I’m so excited to continue to watch your videos while we are both working and when I eventually cross-train to L&D!

It is the best job ever. I love making every birthday special, even the ones that don’t end up the way were expecting. It’s a huge day and everyone’s life and I don’t take that for granted. I’m glad you had a good team of nurses and you’re still here today! 💛

@bettysmith4527 Год назад

Welp, I got the job, but HATED being a L and D nurse!! I tried post partum as well and meh, it was ok, and then when I had to go to permanent nights, I was like, yea, this isn't for me, I am not a night shift person!! Anywho, I found my "nursing niche" in vascular access, so don't give up if you are struggling to find your nursing specialty!

I graduate nursing school in 36 days-we’ve only done med surg clinical the entire time. I was dead set on being a M/S nurse because I didn’t think I’d like anything else. Well in last semester, we get 2 days of L&D/NICU clinical. In my 9 hours on L&D, I fell in love and I’m so excited to search for open positions even if it means I’ll do a year of M/S residency first.

I'm very hopeful and excited for what's to come in January when I (fingers crossed) become a L/D nurse.

Hi! Perinatal CNS with over 30 years with moms and babies. I LOVE high risk OB which may seem crazy, I also loved teaching new nurses and taking the “Bradley method” families. There is so much to talk about-I also really enjoyed taking the high risk model and bringing “normal” aspects to it. Altogether, it is a lot of hard work! I’m glad there are new nurses coming up to take it over. Much love!

Im in nursing school working as a tech on an understaffed med/surg floor and honestly I kind of hate that I feel like we are constantly being abused or letting patient care flater due to lack of staff. There are many days where I feel i'm going to get burnt out less 6 months into nursing after I graduate. This has inspired me to work even harder in nursing school so I can do labor and delivery and NOT med/surg, rehab, psych, or step down (not saying that those aren't respectable jobs I'm just not strong enough) THANK YOU FOR THIS

@AmyBales 2 года назад

Yes I 100% agree! Burn out still happens in L&D but I feel like it's way less honestly.

It's so intimidating, and that extra care in that moment really makes us feel like our nurses are there for us and not at all bothered or grossed out at all... it gave me the ability to go to that primal state to be able to cope with my natural labor. Best experience I have ever had.

Hi I've worked in clinical modality practice for nutritional medicine for over 6 years now, doing therapeutical techniques for regional & rural community outreach groups (focus), now I've finally moved onto theological aspects of ed/ob/gyn & psych ward patient intake. I now run a team of professional nurses and I've achieved an acumen of clinical nurse specialist scientist, I have a backed research/work degree in clinical nutrition, I can run multiple nurse outpatient centres under my guidance, and I recently got promoted to Dean of Nursing!!! I'm so happy now, ty for showing me your prestigious ob work it's good to see more nurses not in burnout. GL to all nurses and physicians and allied health team.

Aspiring L&D nurse! I have my LPN and working on getting some experience under my belt before moving forward. Like you, I KNEW during my OB clinicals this is what I was BORN to do! My first day in OB clinicals I saw the complete circle of life with a 16 week fetal demise and had a rockstar mom come in straight to a room ready to go and helped coach her along to bring a beautiful healthy boy into the world! I had an AMAZING nurse to work under that day! I had never felt so alive until that day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

you should do a video about all the classes and exams and semesters that you had to take and how long was your schooling

I don't understand how you are so calm and content? I worked in nursing homes and hospice where I had 25-30 patients. I have been burned out since 2017. (Probably way before then.... )

@AmyBales 3 года назад

I really think it’s because I chose the specialty. I have a friend who started MedSurg nursing as a new grad and by five months and she quit because she hated it so much. When she would tell me about her day I would tell her that I would quit too, it sounded horrible. Finding a job in an area where you are appreciated and your staff support you, and you’re interested in what you do every day, and you have safe ratios, it totally prevents burn out. 🤍 I would definitely look for a different job that feels you leaving excited after work.

@@AmyBales Thank you! I think I will. I went into nursing to work in L&D. I got a preceptorship in the exact unit I was hired at during nursing school. So I was able to check the unit out and see if it would be a good fit. 😊
