I watched this video 2 years ago with the hope that one day I would become a labor nurse. At the time, it was just information and I watched it along with many other videos. Now, watching it again after a year in labor and delivery, I can smile and nod. I love my career and am so incredibly blessed to be a labor nurse.
I'm actually currently in school pursuing my master's degree in certified nurse midwifery. I love this career and everything about it. I chose this path because I love women and babies and hold a deep rooted drive to improve maternal and infant outcomes in this country.
nerdynerd67 I'm a senior this year and I'm having like a career crisis because I'm not sure what to do but I've been researching this and this is very exciting
Excapism Whatd you choose to do? I assume you graduated. If so, congrats! Im happy for you! Im currently a junior in high school and undecided still on what I want to do with my life. First, it was somewhere in the medical department in the airforce. Now Im unsure, and I thought about a flight attendant cause its also a way to get free traveling if you know what I mean and sounds very fun. Um I landed on this and Im still thinking somewhere in the medical department like this but still not so sure. I have a serious relationship with my bf and I dont know if hed like the idea of me going everywhere as a flight attendant, you know. And my family is scared for me to go into the military and travel too. Most of my family wanted to become nurses and they never got a chance to so, the thought of making their dreams come alive and liking it myself too in that area is where I got the whole 'somewhere in the medical department' in about everything. Sorry if I told you a lot and all, I just really wanted to share (im so excited about making something of myself, whatever it may be) and hopefully I can decide when the time comes.
Oh! I forgot to add. I still cant decide on a career or what a dream of mine truly is, but I did for a while think of inventing something and I know exactly what but I don't know how to make it possible.
Love being able to have my dream job! I've been a nurse for 8 years and transferred into L&D about 7 months ago and love it!! To all of you in nursing school: Continue to pursue your dreams! It's so worth it! I also had a child while going to school and yes it was difficult but it also gave me even more drive to accomplish my goals. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
I just turned 30, im currently a hairstylist but im sick of the vanity and superficiality. Nursing school is something ive considered, Nicu, as well as Labor and delivery stand out the most. Starting over at 30 is scary, but I want to try. Thanks for the encouragement
+isabel cuevas i would also love to have this job! im a freshman at community college and was an undecided major for my first few weeks of school. This week I found out nursing was my passion and changed my major to pre-rn. good luck! hope you land your dream job~
I'm in my first year of college. Ever since I was in High school I would tell everyone I knew that I wanted to be a Labor and Delivery Nurse. And here I finally am. studying what I love, to do something that I love!! Thanks so much for the video! It exites me even more to see a glimpse into that world!!
i just applied to nursing school, struggling to get the prerequisites to be accepted in June. Im struggling because I have a son and its hard to go to school and have a child to care for. I believe it is all in Gods hands if I get accepted or not...but I will never give up because this is my dream job!!
Update: I’m a nurse now!! I struggled SO HARD because I had 2 more kids after my son. But I did it and I love it. I don’t work in labour and delivery, I work in postpartum so I get to care for mommies and babies after delivery :) Hard work will always pay off. If anyone is struggling in nursing school right now, just know that you’re not alone!
Cute nurse fully equipped with all of her duties of healthcare, patient coordination, affectionate, well attended .........well done n her smile is so good that can relieve any patient's pain n sufferings.......
I absolutely loved the nurses that attended my second and third pregnancy at the intermountain hospital in Provo,UT!!! They are so sweet and kind and patient and I could tell they love their job, it's a passion for them! With my first son I had him in California and the nurses there were rude and I can tell they were only there for a paycheck.
@@giulianafusco7039 I got accepted into 2 BSN programs and after 2 semesters I decided to switched my major to healthcare management! Maybe one day I'll go back.
This is my dream job💗I hope to become one so I can help my family deliver their baby it would be a dream to help them. This job is just amazing to see how cool it is
This will be me one day. Being a mama of 2, both different types of delivery, helps me relate more and I can't wait to be able to help people. I've always wanted to be a nurse, ever since I was little. I will make it happen soon enough :)
Haven't decided which direction I want to take when I graduate from university, but I'm really interested in labor&delivery care, thank you for the informative video!
Been trying to get in L& D since I graduated in 2008 😢. If anyone knows someone willing to hire an RN without experience & train please let me know! I'd love to do this.
Hi. I just recently graduated from nursing school in November 2020. My journey began after I graduated high school. I knew I wanted to become a nurse one day, so at the time, I searched for a 4 year university that had an accredited nursing program. I eventually found one that was affordable. It took 4.5 years to get my degree. Two of those years consisted of taking pre-requisite classes (anatomy 1 & 2 lectures, anatomy 1 & 2 labs, microbiology, nutrition, and statistics). I took actual nursing classes for the other 2.5 years. After all that, I got my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree (BSN). Keep in mind, going to a 4 year university straight out of high school is not the only way you can get a nursing degree. You can go to a community college for 2 years and get your associates degree in nursing (ADN). However, a lot of hospitals prefer nurses to get their bachelor’s degree. So if you go the ADN route, you can then find a 4 year university and finish taking the required classes to get your bachelors.
Just a question, but do they have labor and delivery nurses in the UK? Because I’m British and I want to be a labor and delivery nurse, so I would just like to know
Research has shown that induction of labor increases the risk of cesarean section (Herbst,Doyle & Ramin 2005). There are way too many pitocin induced labors. Unless there is an indication, why not wait for labor to begin?
While I generally agree with you on the topic of unnecessary induced labor, maybe you didn't listen carefully enough to hear that her water broke, therefore they had to give her Pitocin to induce labor. Otherwise, she is at serious risk for infection, among many other serious possible complications for both her and the baby, if the labor doesn't start/the baby isn't delivered within a certain time frame.
betternursing and depending on who you talk to that changes from 2 hrs to 12 if it’s a midwife or CNM at a birth center or nurse at a hospital. I got tons of different answers in my 3 births :-/ The one where they put me on pitocin 3 hrs after my water broke was the one where the baby was born blue and nearly had a c section. I mean I get no infections, but why force it instead of giving it a little time to happen?
Pitocin is oxytocin, which is a natural hormone already secreted in the body. When pitocin is given, it is in very small doses to encourage contractions. We already have oxytocin in our bodies, sometimes you just need a little more.

Just a question, but do they have labor and delivery nurses in the UK? Because I’m British and I want to be a labor and delivery nurse, so I would just like to know
I’ll answer my own question, no they don’t.
This is where I was born- 42 years ago.
me too!!

Billy Bob you need to chill with the harassment on every single comment
The baby is cute.
Hi how do you guys doing covert because it’s no different
I can't wait!!!
I had that medication to induce labor!! Pain
that's wonderful i cant wait to be a real nurse oooooh ya
Im only a sophomore but ik I wanna be a labor and delivery doctor

What part of nursing is this called??
Camerynns channle Labor and Delivery!
It's so weird watching this in 2020, just seeing people without masks are so weird now days, especially health care workers.
So do they only deliver like 1 baby a shift?
Jeon Jjeoreo I’ve done two deliveries of both my patients within 45 minutes when I worked at a busier facility. I’ve done a max of 4 in one shift.
I’m only 8 but I reallyyyyyyyyyy want to be a labor delivery nurse
I want to either do labor and delivery, neonatal, or an rn
Itz. zahra they are all rn’s its just what you specialize in
Giselle Gonzalez do you specialize at the hospital you work in or do you study labor and deliver after earning the rn degree,at a college/university
Pitocin NOPE that is the stuff I've heard you 100000000000% want to avoid at all costs! It makes childbirth about 10x more painful.
If you're an RN can you still do this job?
Jordyn Bradshaw yes! A l&d nurse is actually a type of RN so u first become an RN then specialize in labor and delivery! :)
SS 87 do you specialize at the hospital? if so how? or do you go to college to specialize after earning the RN degree
@@funnyfries7792 you can google something along the lines of "how to become l&d nurse" and there are multiple websites that can help!
Can male nurses work in L&D
Yes
The nurse looks very confused. Thats very Dangerous.
Right she don't sound sure of herself
This nurse scares me lol
That husband looks so uncomfortable
I hate pitocin!
Pitocin is oxytocin, which is a natural hormone already secreted in the body. When pitocin is given, it is in very small doses to encourage contractions. We already have oxytocin in our bodies, sometimes you just need a little more.

Show her privet
Is there a way you can be an LPN and still work In L&D?
Trish C yup! I know LPN that work l&d. More common in rural areas
Very uncommon these days. But depending where you live it might be possible. Most hospitals require a BSN
