    I did L and D for 4 months, I tried to love it, but I ended up hating it. Too much documentation for me, and on top of it they wanted all us new folks to learn how to scrub for c-sections to, it was just too much at once. I found it stressful and unenjoyable, I had no interest in the position changes etc to get to the delivery part! I did what you did a couple times, Multips with epidurals who are not close to delivering, but then after their epidural you look and they are crowning! I went to postpartum and liked that a lot better, but they only had nights with no hope of going to days for at least 2 years. I did the nights for two weeks, and realized it was not for me, I just can't do night shift!! Anyway, I found my nursing niche in vascular access, day shifts, no patient load or wiping butts (or vaginas), day shift, putting in PICCs is cool, day shift.... It's truly the only nursing job I have not hated! Hope your are doing well in your nursing career.

      Usually it will be posted as an RN position on either the vascular access team or IV Team, on occasion it will be post as PICC RN @@Kassiex5 It really depends on the hospital.

    I am still trying to write my cover letter and improve my resume, but I have L&D clinicals for the next 3 weeks. In your opinion would it be helpful to take them with me on a shift and give them to the nursing manager? I've been debating back and forth on if it will put me in a positive light or if it would make me seem overly eager. It's hard not to be nervous since I am fortunate to be doing clinicals at the facility I am hoping to get hired at.

    • @nikkieizzuka4059

    Hi Nikkie! Thanks so much for the insight on your video. I have a question pertaining to the pay. Do you think it's wrong to ask if the hospital pay less during orientation before you get placed on a unit during an interview?

    • @nikkieizzuka4059
      @nikkieizzuka4059 2 роки тому

      I don’t think it’s wrong to ask, this is part of your decision making for whether or not you’re going to accept the job. I would just be careful in the way you ask and not ask about pay right away. Definitely ask questions about the work environment first so it doesn’t seem like you’re basing your entire decision on pay.

    I couldn't do it. I couldn't stand the fact that I had to be with a company for a certain amount of time. I was a CNA in the Float pool and just told everyone that I wanted to work in that unit. Nurses respond well hearing that you want to be in a unit. Got the job when I graduated. Either way hard work pays off.

    • @nikkieizzuka4059
      @nikkieizzuka4059 2 роки тому

      That’s great that it worked out for you! I did an accelerated program, so I didn’t have time to work during school and didn’t have that opportunity. Also, my hospital only hires new nurses into their residency program so either way, this has to be my route. Honestly, I’m 1.5 years in and starting to feel more comfortable. People have always told me it takes 1-2 years to feel confident so I had always planned at staying at my first job for around that time. That’s why the contract wasn’t a big deal for me 🤷🏽‍♀️

I didn't get an offer for any of them and its hard to get back up after getting pushed down so many times. Sad that so many new grad nurses have to end up on a unit they do not want to work on. There are not any Nurse Residency Programs for L&D where I live either :( I just wish that I didn't feel so alone thoughout this process.
