Congratulations on getting accepted in to a nursing program! You got this girl. Work hard and it will pay off. Thanks for watching my video and commenting. Super happy to hear it was helpful. Would love to hear from you when you get into your OB rotation!
Congratulations! Nursing is a wonderful career and postpartum nursing is sooo rewarding! Be sure to make connections when you do your OB clinical rotation to increase your chances of getting into the specialty you want right after graduation!
I genuinely feel like god wants me here in nursing. I keep pushing to go into surgery and other areas of nursing but I almost feel like postpartum or maternal is where I should be
I have a question: as a postpartum nurse, do you still have time for yourself? Do you have time for self care, exercise, vacation, free time? Thank you ❤️❤️
Hi Sabrina! Most postpartum nurses work three 12 hour shifts if they are full time. On the days I work I find it hard to find energy to do much else but because self care is extremely important I make time to incorporate yoga and journaling into my day. Then we have 4 days off and accumulate vacation hours like most jobs. So yes, there is time for regular exercise, self care, and vacation. Thank you for you for your comment!
Hello. Due to the low census, do you see you or other nurses having their shifts cancelled often? Or even bring sent home in the middle of their shifts? Thank you.
I am in my pre reqs for my associates in nursing and all though it’s kind of early and I have time I’m trying to figure out what position I want to do rather it be L&D, postpartum or NICU
Currently working as a primary care clinic RN, but I am interested in postpartum nursing someday. I do not have kids of my own so I am not sure how great I'd be as a postpartum nurse.
Hi Hailey! I also do primary care and don’t have kids on my own. I never had any one question my expertise. It’s really a privilege and an homer to be a nurse because people trust you just based on that fact!
@@peaceofmyeisha2505 How great! How soon do you recommend switching jobs? I think eventually I want to do postpartum full-time and do primary care PRN.
I’m a CNA and I got hired on a postpartum floor. I planned it so that when I finish Nursing School i am already in the area of Nursing I want. I also like Pediatrics.
I just got hired in a new grad residency and will be working on the postpartum floor. This was very informative. Thank you!
I’m in a med surg residency now. It’s been 5 months and I applied for a PP position lol
@@KindNurseBeauty Yayy!!! Congrats🎉

Do postpartum floors regularly hire new grads?
I’m a CNA and I got hired on a postpartum floor. I planned it so that when I finish Nursing School i am already in the area of Nursing I want. I also like Pediatrics.
Is there any certifications, books, etc you recommend a newer nurse get or study to be able to get into postpartum or L and D? Thanks!
