This was actually very informational for me, I appreciate how straight forward you explained their roles. I’m in a BSN program now and graduate this December and just started my maternal rotation. This vid helped reaffirm that I want to be a NICU nurse lol I’d much rather work with the babies than the mamas ☺️ great video girl 💕
I'm about to start nursing school and I always knew I was passionate about babies and their care. Thank you for this information, it was extremely helpful!
Lately I've been questioning my decision to become a nurse based off of some unpleasant experiences I've had working at my hospital (NOT in L&D), but your videos really give me hope and inspire me to continue along my journey. My goal is to be an L&D RN and eventually a CNM. Thank you
Thank you for this video! I am a postpartum nurse and I want to send this to everyone who assumes I help "deliver babies" (when I tell them I do mother baby nursing) when I don't haha
Thank you for this informative video Nurse Aggz!! I want to go into women’s health and ultimately be a WHNP. Just wasn’t sure which nursing I wanted to go into. So thank you!! 😊😊 I’m starting my LPN-BSN program today and will be done May of 21’🤞🏾
Thank you for these vids!!! I am just beginning my nursing journey and think I want to be a midwife, but your videos have made me realize there are so many things to consider so thank you!
@@natashadwyer8336 Hey! I have decided on a totally different specialty. I want to do dermatology/plastic surgery. I have fallen in love with surgery. Best of luck to you!
Wow this video was so useful in deciding my career, I am currently in the middle of my junior year and I have been taking into consideration what type of nurse I want to be. L &D is something that sounds very interesting
This was a very helpful video! Thank you so much!! I am a new grad applying to these baby units and this is helping me figure out which unit I want to work on!
Sis came back from that phone call looking like she got into a fight 😂😂😂!! So beautiful any way. Also- I would love to know if Labor and Delivery help with initiation to breastfeeding
Just to clarify, does your facility have specialty trained postpartum nurses to do the first assessments on the infants? Or do labor nurses do that? We call them NAN nurses or CORE nurses where I work.
Helen Chhay at my facility it’s the admission team nurses. They have their own staff and work specifically to admit the new born and do the first assessment.
NurseAggz yes! We consider them postpartum nurses as well because they can do both roles, does your facility do so? PPNs can become one they just have to be certified in our facility, and I’m not sure if every place is different.
I am a registered midwife from the UK with 15yrs experience now living in the US, I have a few questions about the role. Do L&D nurses suture perineums and actually deliver the babies?
Mostly L&D. The hospital I was at had a specific baby assessment nurse who would come and perform a full head-to-toe assessment on the babies who were just born.
@@NurseAggz ok! i guess every country has its own system :D for example we do not have nurses in labor, delivery and postpartum at all - midwife does pretty much everything. but there are neonatal nurses :)
BriLaRoseXo there’s another nurse that’ll step in to take over care of you other patient if you’re in a delivery. You resume care with your other patient about 1hr after delivery
dm. iliana a labor and delivery nurse is a nurse that administers medication, monitor the mothers vitals, coach pushing, and charting. A midwife is the person who actually delivers and catches the baby. Of course at some point the two jobs do some of the same things but those are the main jobs. Hopefully that’s helpful. By all means I’m not an expert but that what I know :)
This video was perfect for me. These are my top 3 choices
same but im also thinking about peds!!

I was placed in L&D for my role transition!! So excited because L&D is why I wanted to become a nurse. Thanks for your videos.

Thank you for this video! I recently changed my major to BSN, and I want to pursue one of the three specialty areas that you talked about!
Update ?
I want to do it all 😫
Omg this what i needed to watch ! Going for one of these just done know yet! Definitely thinking of labor and delivery ! Thanks girl
Thank you for sharing this!! I am still undecided between peds or L&D. I am leaning more toward L&D though. Keep the great videos coming sis.
Hi Jess, which direction did you decide on? I was torn on the same path. Ultimately think I’d like to do L&D.
@@natashadwyer8336 Hey! I have decided on a totally different specialty. I want to do dermatology/plastic surgery. I have fallen in love with surgery. Best of luck to you!
This is the only video that explains this well! Thanks. Now I know I want to be a labor and delivery nurse or post partum. 😊🥰
You are so welcome! :)
Wow this video was so useful in deciding my career, I am currently in the middle of my junior year and I have been taking into consideration what type of nurse I want to be. L &D is something that sounds very interesting

Great video! Thanks for breaking it down
I just got placed for capstone and it’s NICU. I wanted L&D as a first choice, mixed emotions for sure here!
What about level one healthy babies? How do I do it? I’m thinking of getting there yea. There level 2to4 so imma pass on that but stick with level one
This was a very helpful video! Thank you so much!! I am a new grad applying to these baby units and this is helping me figure out which unit I want to work on!
No problem girl 😉

Sis came back from that phone call looking like she got into a fight 😂😂😂!! So beautiful any way.
Also- I would love to know if Labor and Delivery help with initiation to breastfeeding
lmao!! i have to watch it back now. and yes! we absolutely help with breastfeeding initiation.
Thank you for this video and btw, where did you get your necklace?
ChinaInNursing shopxixi.com ❤️
Would it be hard to transition form a NICU nurse to L&D if you don’t have any other experience?
i want be in a nicu nurse
How many patients are you typically assigned?
2
off topic, but where are your necklaces from? They're so cute
Olivia Rose thank you! They’re from shopxixi.com ☺️
Do all nurses go through the same schooling and then pick a specialty?
Just to clarify, does your facility have specialty trained postpartum nurses to do the first assessments on the infants? Or do labor nurses do that? We call them NAN nurses or CORE nurses where I work.
Helen Chhay at my facility it’s the admission team nurses. They have their own staff and work specifically to admit the new born and do the first assessment.
NurseAggz yes! We consider them postpartum nurses as well because they can do both roles, does your facility do so? PPNs can become one they just have to be certified in our facility, and I’m not sure if every place is different.
😁😁
can nurses deliver babies? I wanr be obgyn nurse ( how is that like?) thank you!! (:
Wait who are the ones who measures the babies and stuff like that's in 13 and want to learn what nurses do because I want to be one.
It depends on the facility. Sometimes it’s the L&D Nurse, sometimes it’s a NICU or Special Care Delivery Nurse that does it.
I am a registered midwife from the UK with 15yrs experience now living in the US, I have a few questions about the role. Do L&D nurses suture perineums and actually deliver the babies?
oh, no. the midwife or obgyn does repairs and deliveries
@@NurseAggz wow! I did a thay with zero help and got paid a fraction of what they get paid here lol
is a L&D nurse the only nurses that would do the baby’s measurements first bath etc or is it mainly the nicu?
Mostly L&D. The hospital I was at had a specific baby assessment nurse who would come and perform a full head-to-toe assessment on the babies who were just born.
So do is a neonatal nurse and a nicu nurse the same because that’s what I wanna do - please answer I’m confused
Yes, she stated that at 6:12
So what does the midwife do if nurses take up all their duties?
Heleri Valtin the midwife does essentially what a OBGYN does except for the surgeries
@@NurseAggz ok! i guess every country has its own system :D for example we do not have nurses in labor, delivery and postpartum at all - midwife does pretty much everything. but there are neonatal nurses :)
@@helerivaltin5177 wow. interesting. where do you live?
@@NurseAggz in estonia :)
@@helerivaltin5177 nice!
What happens if two of your patients are going into Labor at the same time ? Do you have to keep running back and forth to help deliver each baby?
BriLaRoseXo there’s another nurse that’ll step in to take over care of you other patient if you’re in a delivery. You resume care with your other patient about 1hr after delivery
Is there such thing as a perinatal nurse? I’ve heard there is on nursing websites and stuff but I never hear anything else about it..
girl, ive never known a perinatal nurse. im just as confused! lol
What did you major in gurl?
Nursing !
Okay so a labor and delivery nurse its not a midwife I'm confused...What is the difference between them two?
dm. iliana a labor and delivery nurse is a nurse that administers medication, monitor the mothers vitals, coach pushing, and charting. A midwife is the person who actually delivers and catches the baby. Of course at some point the two jobs do some of the same things but those are the main jobs. Hopefully that’s helpful. By all means I’m not an expert but that what I know :)
Do you have nursing assistants? Do they help much I’m hoping I get a job in labor and delivery
yep & yep! love our nursing techs. maybe different at different hospitals though
