THIS!

Can switch with midwife also?

Unless you get a master’s degree. You get a specialist forever. So, you can only change with bachelor degree.

Yes best part!

No not really. If you have been an outpatient/ clinic nurse for years you cannot just get up and switch to say ER or ICU nursing.

That’s the beautiful thing about nursing, you can try so many different things until you find your perfect fit

@@TheNurseNook yeah

In nursing you just have to find what works for you.

Congrats! And welcome to the Nurse family ❤️

If I were to do hospitals again it would be Mother Bay, OR, GI or Hospice

Take this for what it's worth, truly, if my sharing this does not help you at all, please disregard. When I had both of my sons, there were good and bad aspects. Two different hospitals, but all the bad occurred in the first child, all the good happened in the second at a different hospital where I ultimately ended up consulting with L&D over a 6-month period to improve the quality of care since they were getting back on their feet after a tiny small town hospital was bought-out by a large super hospital from the city. Good aspect #1: The nurses who were not overly pushy and were compassionate. #2: Listened to me and all my requests, did not "disregard" me as "just a dumb patient who doesn't actually know what's best for herself and her baby". #3: Left me alone as much as possible, did not come in constantly to check vitals, wellness checks etc. #4: Delayed first bath for 6 hours and allowed me to perform it rather than trying to take the baby away to do it away from me #5: Allowed as much skin to skin as possible, total of 12-hours constant s2s... even to the point of moving my room around so I could hold him that way and not flash the hallway, and putting a sign on the door to warn anyone entering that I was not decent and didn't plan to be. #6: Allowed as much cluster feeding as we wanted without making me feel like I was being a bad mother or not producing enough. He was a cluster feeder from the first minute he touched my chest and never stopped until he was 3-years old. He'd have continued past 3 but I made him wean when I had a hysterectomy. Bad aspect #1: The nurses who had been told not to feed my baby any formula & not to remove the baby from my room but they did it anyway and essentially kidnapped the child to put him in the nursery rather than leaving him with me in my room. #2: The "lactation consultants" who were nurses that went through the training but did not actually understand how to teach me to breastfeed, nor did they understand that it was not ME but the epidural that had changed how he was reacting post-birth... because they had never done it themselves as a mother and didn't realize how epidurals effect babies sometimes. They just had been trained in the class and epidurals weren't mentioned. #3: When I said something was wrong (he was tongue tied) but wouldn't believe me and ultimately made me feel stupid, They had me convinced something was wrong with ME when in fact it wasn't anyone's fault, it was just tongue tie combined with the epidural making him super groggy so he never learned to latch properly and ultimately lead to my quitting with EBF and went to EFF. So, my thoughts on you becoming trained in LC: Go for it! But please don't be offended if the moms don't "get it"... and please listen if they tell you something is wrong with the babies latch, even if they've never done this before... Also, as much as you can, please be as understanding and kind as possible... this isn't something that is easy to teach without having done it as a mother yourself and some of these moms are scared out of their minds... others, like myself, KNOW somehow that there is something wrong and if they had listened to me my first child's experiences would have gone so much differently...

Typical orientation is about 6 weeks

Yes that is so true! I also have a YT channel about nursing school, and being a new grad. Check it out and let me know what you think😊
