As a pregnant woman this is really comforting to watch 🥺I hope the nurses I have during labor are as kind and attentive as you

I've given birth 3 times and all 3 times I've had amazing nurses. The one who means a lot to me was the nurse I had when I was giving birth to my youngest. She stayed past her time to get off just to help me give birth to him. She was also there when the unexpected happened and she comforted me when I needed it the most. I'll never forget her she was amazing

My daughter had to stay one night extra after they discharged me, and the hospital allowed me to stay in an extra room that was used for storage . All the other rooms were full, but I wasn't walking out the doors without my baby, so I was so grateful.

I will become a labor and delivery registered nurse 🙌🏾 I’m speaking it.

I'll never forget the nurse at my second daughter's birth. I was scared shitless and she was so kind and enthusiastic and excited for me and it was contagious! She made me feel like everything was okay and it was okay to be scared but also to enjoy rhe experience

The level of care & consideration you give to your patients is awesome! I wish I had you as a L&D nurse when I gave birth to my children. Thank you for documenting & sharing your shift with us. I am currently in nursing school & I hope to become as great of a nurse as you are one day❤

I wish I had such a nice nurse like Anna. My experience was horrible and the nurses and doc wasn't too nice. It's great to see there are nice ppl out there still.

I hope you know how much comfort you are giving women, especially with all of the stories of uncompassionate labor and delivery nurses. Thank you 💕

This video makes me so excited for nursing school, I had my hesitations but when I watch videos like these with amazing nurses I get so inspired! Thank you!

When I had an ectopic pregnancy the L&D nurse that stepped between me and everyone else was absolutely amazing! I don't remember her real name but I will always refer to her as Jasmine and I don't think I will ever forget her or her baby boy (she looked like she was due any day and when the baby wouldn't calm down, she asked me to talk to him, it worked like a charm for both of us)

This is my dream!!! I’m currently a Junior in high school and it would be wonderful if you could do a video on how you got to where you are like the classes you took and what you recommend to get us to this point. Watching you do your job so passionately really pushes me towards this job more because I can see how much you love it and even though it’s stressful it’s truly such a rewarding job. ❤

I love the details and the interventions you do for the whole day! I'm studying right now and hopefully I pass on July 17 and get that goal of being a L&D nurse! I just really like the process of giving birth and taking care of mothers and baby. Hopefully I get to be a good L&D nurse like you :')

Im 16 and i realllyy want to be a labor nurse.

I am a 15yr old who where older plan on being a labor nurse hopefully ^^

I love these videos Anna! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. 💕

yesss please do more day in my life videos! You are literally the best nurse everrrrr I really wish to have someone as nice as you when I give birth

I love this so much, thank you for filming your day!

After being induced and pushing for 4 hours, ice packs were my best friends! L&D nurses are very special people! I”m a NICU RN of 43 years.

You’re so sweet! I would also love to see more videos of setting up postpartum rooms

I wanted to thank u for everything you do people like u have made my labor and delivery go so easy for me I thank God that people like u are here I'm a mother of 12 thank u

My baby will be 20 in July. I was a one and done mama lol but I'm so grateful for nurses like Anna!!! I'll tell you what tho, that Shasta twist (lemon lime soda and cranberry juice) has been a staple in my life since the day I gave birth!! Lol I drink ONE soda a day and every time it's sprite with cranberry juice!!! Those things are delicious!!!

You seem like such sweet and kind nurse ❤

I love your videos. Plus - I wish I had nurses like you when my two sons were born. !!!!!!!

Thank you so much for making videos like this one! It’s been my dream to be a l&d or postpartum nurse and your channel is so inspiring. I’m still in high school trying to get through the SATs. I know I have a long way to go before I become a nurse but I just wanted to let you know that you motivate me and I can’t wait to make a difference to new moms out there♥♥♥🩺

This job is truly sacred

I’m a Qmap and CNA and a pre nursing student and I love this video I want to be a L&D nurse 💜

Keep it up! I LOVE your content its so amazing and informative!

Great video Anna. Loved it!

Starting nursing school in the fall, I'm going in with L&D being my preferred workplace, but open to anything! so nervous for it and esp because I have a 5 month old, but I am so excited!! Looks a bit overwhelming especially if you have 2 couplets or more in a shift.

Thank you for making this video! Working L&D has been calling me for a long time… I start nursing school in January! Wish me luck!

A year after you made this video, but as a mom to a daughter who went through 7 years dreaming about being a nurse, but not knowing which specialty she might want to at least start out in, this was incredibly informative and well presented!! I have watched hundreds of videos myself as she was working her way through her high school CNA degree program, then her first 2 years at a university mainly completing all her gen ed and nursing pre reqs, then a year off of school being a fulltime CNA after not getting into her first choice nursing program at the nearby university she already attended, even with a 3.9 GPA, but then getting into one of the best nursing schools in the east, and graduating Summa Cum Laud 2 years ago. Finally we decided she should try for a first job in a NICU, after watching a few videos by other NICU nurses, but none were presented so well as your video about how it is to be a L&D nurse, at least on a good day! Most of the nurses we watched that were NICU nurses just talked about what their days were like, as it is hard to show yourself at work in a NICU and respect family privacy, but the way you managed to show as much as possible your birthing rooms and tools used....while not showing any patients was so very much more informative for future student nurses not yet starting their clinical and so not yet exposed to hospital settings...(my daughter started nursing school Aug.2020 during Covid lockdowns, so got very little clinical experience at all before graduating April 2022) Well, she is about to celebrate her 2 year anniversary as a nurse, in the NICU, and will probably stay with NICU as it is completely different than working with any other patient population, she would probably choose L&D if she ever wanted a change. A great informative video schools should show at career exploration seminars!!

Been wanting to do labor and delivery for awhile now! ❤️

Thank you!!!

My dream career❤ wow you’re truly inspiring 🙏🏻👏🏻

Loved it ❤

32 weeks and doctor is talking about inducing me early (38weeks) this helped put my mind at ease i see so many induction horror stories

The patch i had during my second , 2 weeks ago and it was GREAT loved it. It did disconnect alot but it was worth everything even the mega break out i got from it since i had it on 2 days. Still 2 weeks later my belly is all scratched up from it. But 10/10 if u want to walk around , get on a ball , use the bathroom even take a shower to induce urself I recommend

Hello!! I am so inspired by you!! Ever since I've started working in assisted living and memory care for 3 years now I have been surrounded by people going to college for nursing/doctor/phycological courses. About a year ago I had started thinking about becoming a nurse myself and what field particularly I would want to join! I've always wanted to do something with children ever since I was very young and decided if I was to be a nurse, I would do labor and delivery!! I came across your videos and finally just a few days ago applied for college!! I can't wait to see where this journey takes me!🥳🥳

I hope I have a nurse like you 🥺

wow this video was super informative thank you for this!!

This was great to watch!! 💖💖💖💖

2:12 you braided her hair 🥺🥺 that is so so sweet! oh my goodness!

Thank you for sharing

Please do more blogs I love these!

Hey Nurse Anna, You are so beautiful and amazing! ❤ I hope to become a great nurse like you someday :)

Omg love it !!! I’m about to have a baby it helped me ❤ my 1st baby that is !!

This was really helpful. I graduate at the end of March and will be starting in Labor n Delivery April 24th. 😩 I’m terrified and excited all at the same time lol

I pray I get to become a wonderful nurse like you❤

This looks like such a fun and rewarding career. I hope I get hired as an OB nurse after my graduation next year. ❤😊

i love ur scrub cap😂

I start my new labor and delivery position this Sunday after being in MedSurg for 5 years. I’m excited and anxious lol

i love your scrub cap 😍😂

I have 3 kids 2 boys and 1 girl. My boys are 22 and 23 and my girl is 14 and my oldest son and his fiance are expecting Feb 2023 and I am so so excited to finally meet my 1st granddaughter.

Where do you get your scrub caps? I have a lot of hair like you and I’ve seen that you have the cutest caps!!

im 15, and my dream is to become a labor and delivery nurse. ive been doing some practicing before actually working in healthcare, like voulenteering in a nursing home, etc etc but the most thing im prob not gonna like are the shift hours! super duper long but since im passionate about my career choice i prob wont mind

I wish you were my nurse during my time 😊

I just got a positive preggo test yesterday and I’m over the moon. I’m also a transplant nurse and I’ve have multiple nurses on my unit give birth recently in a hospital and they have not had many great things to say. It has literally scared me into only considering midwifery. What are your thoughts on midwifery for first time moms!?

I was pregnant and when I went in labor some nurse were passive aggressive and when I got the epadiorl the were so aggressive with how they moved me. And when I was 9 c they left me to long on one side and they moved me and m stomach hurt with cramps and they were just wierd.

I love your cap. May I ask where you got it from?

Great video!I was wondering how many 12 hr shifts a week do you have, and after you go to school for nursing how do u specify in labor and delivery? :))

so happy i came across this. i just changed my major to nursing after being a criminal justice major so this is something very different. my advisors aren’t the best at explaining so i apologize for maybe a stupid question lol - i would be getting my RN, could i still be a L&D nurse with this??

Hi Anna. You are such a great nurse. I love in a third world country where the hospital is scary. I am planning to have a baby and I am so scared to the point of crying and I'm not even pregnant yet. The nurses at the hospital here treat patients as animals and they have no upgraded tools and equipments.

Can you make a video about the meds please

New sub!!! I love these videos 🥹♥️♥️🥹🥹

You inspired me to want to be a l and d nurse

Dream job 🫶🏼

💗🙏

Hi Anna, I like the style of your scrub cap for the operating room. Could you share with me where you got it from? thank you!!

I’m so sad I had a negative experience. No one offered me food or a drink after. I hadn’t eaten in over 24 hours at that point because I labored for 20.

OMG I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!! Love you channel. However I have a question … do you only get one or maybe two patients a shift? (If yes that was totally unexpected for me)

Hi, thank you for the video. Do you work from 7 a.m to 7 p.m or is your shift changed depending on the schedule?

Hello Anna, where is from your scrubs caps ? Pleaaase

Where can I buy those glasses?

The mirror gave me lots of anxiety when I was in labor almost had a panic attack i dunno why just did so they took it away lol

I am 13 love your videos and you have inspired me to think about a carrier in labor and delivery I have to say I have never wanted to do a job more can you tell me what classes you took to get there

what scrub brands do you suggest buying?

What shoes would you recomend for l&d?

I kinda want to be a labor and delivery nurse but it’s really discouraging for a lot of reasons

I could have really used that baby bed when I gave birth. It's so hard to keep getting up with a c section 😢

THIS is my dream job😩 how long did you go to school for ? And what was that process like ?

I wish I could be an L&D nurse, it has been a lifelong dream of mine😢

My last pregnancy I had severe dangerously preeclampsia I was rushed to the OR right away. I was already passing out why is it if you have symptoms, preeclampsia you can turn so dangerous sick in

My water broke at 23 weeks and my baby has a very rare syndrome called amniotic band syndrome. I lost my babies twin between 6-8 weeks and when the twin died, it ruined my babies sac causing loose bands which have wrapped around her fingers and legs so she’ll be born missing some fingers, her left lower leg, and a 50/50 on her right foot. Thankfully Shriners has already reached out to us and got us on the schedule. As I type this, I’ve been in the hospital for 8 days. Luckily when my water broke, it didn’t completely pop. My baby still has a normal amount of fluid. I loose fluid everyday multiple times a day in small amounts but she keeps making fluid so as we sit, she’s going good. I’ll be in the hospital until I deliver. The doctors want to deliver her at 34 weeks but none of us think she’ll go that far but here’s hoping that my baby and my body work together to get her as far as she’ll go. I’m in one of the best hospitals in WA state so she has a chance of survival if born now at 24 weeks. But I’m scared about the mental disabilities that being born that early could cause so we’re hoping to make it to 28 weeks at least. I have some favorite nurses but there’s some nurses that are unfortunately here just for the money and it makes me feel so uncomfortable when I have to live here for now.

I want you as my nurse so bad 😭

I love all your videos...I really want you as my nurse.. this is my 10th baby and I am 37 weeks and 5 days now... I've never had a nurse as good as you.. what state are you in?

I don't really get the American nursing guidelines? We aren't allowed to wear jewellery here in europe and I see a lot of American nurses going into work with scrubs from home while here the hospitals provide them (unless you're a trainee) for hygienic purposes. How is it not a thing over there? :o

I wish that I Had burse like you , bcz not every hospital have caring staff or care the way you do, not here in Pakistan especially 😢

Hello.. may i know how many patients you usually handle in a shift?

Hey Anna as a l&d nurse what kind of lifting do you do? Does it require a lot of heavy lifting?

I will be induced soon. How long is induction usually?

For your mama drink, can you tell people how to make it not super fast talking for a you pretty fast talker

Loved this vlog! Please consider using medically accurate language when speaking in general terms about patients -- not all pregnant people are women, a vulva/vagina isn't "lady parts", not all women have vulvas and not all people with vulvas are women.
