sorry for you predicament , license is for everyone just have to work hard and believe you'll make it

Took my NCLEX-RN test last week and passed with 145 quiet in my first try!!.Huge thanks to Mrs Susan ,she is a game changer

Yesss! I hope you love it! 🥰

hey ! plz respond bc i live i tx too what are some schools you recommend for l&d schools ??

@@marianaflores-cf2ki hey there! So all nurses are trained as general nurses in nursing school, you become an L&D nurse whenever you apply after nursing school to L&D positions. So all nursing schools are pretty much the same when it comes to getting an L&D position. It doesnt matter if you go to community or a well known university, just keep your GPA up and get good LOR when you are in school!

That’s Bc housing is a lot cheaper here 😁

@@taryntrail262 😬 where I live in Florida you can’t get a house for less than $400,000 and our pay for new nurses starts at $26/hr 😭

yesss ❤️

Thank you hope it helped!🥰

That's so awesome and makes me so happy for her!!! It is a hard position to get into so you must be very proud.

Hey there! :)

Aww thank you so much!!😭🥰❤💞

@@Romi_joy nice

you can join the AWHONN organization for nurses and look at awesome new.up to date information regarding OB nursing 😊

You will love it! Go for it!! Work hard and you can so do it!! Just start by getting into and graduating from nursing school, then you can decide which specialty you want to get into! :) Good luck!

@@Romi_joy Thank you so much :D

how has it been? were you able to find a good college for nursing? or did you go in a different direction?

MD’s and DO’s!!

Yes!!! Please watch my latest video on how to be a nurse after high school, I talk about all the prerequisites you can take in community college!!😊 good luck!

Nope you can have your ADN and apply! :)

Thank you so much for the reply for L&D do most jobs require a residency?

Thank you 😊 It is a very rewarding career 👍

NC as well

What the heck I make more as a lvn!!! They definitely low ball the pay for Rn in Florida

Mahleeya Carter which state are you located? Thinking about moving out of Florida

Yes definitely!! Try to take the prereqs for nursing school❤

Yes fully paid!!!

Thank you🥰

Jobs cannot discriminate against religion!! It is illegal, you can most definitely wear a scrub skirt to work I've seen it plenty of times at my job. So go for it girl!!🥰

If it's offered, get your ACLS certification in school (this may be offered sometime during your critical care class). During L&D clinicals, be super proactive and try to stand out by offering to help everyone on the unit, offering to do catheters/ivs, state how much you love learning and try to see if you can talk to the manager. Choose L&D as your capstone at possibly a different hospital and do the same thing aforementioned, to get yourself "known" to as many hospitals as possible. If available in your area, do an L&D externship (this is a rare externship but still is offered in some places). If not, apply to patient care tech positions in L&D or anywhere in women's health. Live and breath L&D and don't give up applying to positions when you graduate!

Romi Joy thank you so much! I babe written all of this down in my journal I appreciate the feed back and your videos are great as well

I was a nursing major from freshman year!

I just did a straight 4 year university that had prerequisites and nursing school combined.

Romi Joy thank you

Yup we have to have our ekg certification up to date every two years. Because you have to know how to read them when your csection patient goes to PACU. But it definitely gets easier the more you see them!

It can be done with either an associates or bachelors!😊

Most will only take bachelors though!

yes!!!

Just apply to any nursing program! All you need is a nursing degree! The cheaper the better honestly (example community college), because student loans are a KILLER. Once you graduate the nursing program, then you just apply to labor and delivery positions. Hospitals aren't really specific on which college you went to, just keep your GPA up wherever you go.

Romi Joy thank you so much!!

Thank you!! It certainly helped me a lot, but I only did it because L&D was already full for jobs after I applied. Most L&D units have antepartum attached, my hospital is just so big that it's separate so you'll get the same training anyways for antepartum. So I recommend just applying to L&D instead!!

I sleep an average of 8 hours when I'm working and not working, I prioritize sleep in between shifts I'm working so I feel better throughout the night. I fall asleep around 8am when I get home, and then will wake up at 5pm to get ready if I work that same night, but will wake up earlier around 3pm if I'm not working to get more out of my day. I flip my schedule on days I'm off to normal ppl schedule and just listen to my body!

My husband and I will usually set our schedule to be working around the same time (he's a flight attendant so this is probably easier than alot of other jobs). But we definitely make each other a priority and spend as much time together as possible when we're off! It's always worked for us😁 when he's home and I'm working he stays up late so he will still be asleep when I'm home so we can get some sleep together. Make each other a priority and everything else will fall into place❤

@@Romi_joy thank you so much you really help and inspire me 🙃

Thanks 💯

Yes, you will need to go to community college or a university to get that associates degree in nursing (ADN)

love you baby

It's not required but it's preferred on most L&D units. You need at least an ADN

Thanks for your response! Love your nursing videos there very informative.

@@gisellemendez6433 thank you it means a lot!😊❤

In the United States there is, I know in other countries like Europe they are about the same thing. In the US, an L&D nurse is mostly a bachelors degree, but they do accept associates in certain hospitals. A CNM is considered a masters degree and takes about 2-3 years after a bachelors to complete, they act as the provider and can deliver the babies as well as first assist in C sections.

@@Romi_joy thank you so much for answering! Really cleared things up for me ❤️

you are good with just an ADN!

You don't have to be exceptionally good at either, just make sure you are understanding what you are learning! All you have to do is pass:) not get an A in those subjects!😄

You can DM me on my instagram romi_joy

Romi Joy thanks. Just DM now 👍

I work at a huge hospital, so it happens very often. I would say it happens a lot less often at private hospitals, but miscarriages are very common and even full term miscarriages. Honestly the first time I cared for a mom who lost her baby (and still had her baby with her) hit me hard. It's not good to say, but as time passes you get used to it just like working in the ICU or ER and dealing with adult deaths constantly. I still am very empathetic for the parents and give myself emotionally to them, which is why they are a one to one ratio patient (it's the only patient we have for the night because of the emotional toll it takes on us). But for me personally, I keep work at work and my home life at home, and having a good team you work with really helps and the charge nurses really helped me with my first few times by being in the room with me.

Romi Joy Thank you for the insight! I think I’d have to do some soul searching and figure out whether I would be able to handle that. I’m a really empathetic person and have a soft spot for babies like I’m sure most people do.

@@ashtron23 I definitely do too! 😊 I think all of us L&D nurses do, but it is very rewarding being there for the parents although emotional as well.

​@@Romi_joy because of vaccinated moms.

Forreaaaaal!!!

That’s what I was thinking! The longest orientation period, but not a specialty?!

Med school is definitely a different route from nursing and can cause some stress if you don't get the grades/MCAT for it. If that is your goal, work hard towards it no matter what! :)

I don't get why so many people think it's true lol
