An orientation to labor and delivery

I know I loved pediatrics, but this really could be the clinical experience of my dreams. I don't know what it is about childbirth or labor and delivery that I find so intriguing, but it really is like a Robin magnet.

Like other clinical experiences, we'll have the opportunity to rotate through different units and shadow different nurses. We're spending most of our time in the mother-baby unit of the hospital. We also get two days in labor and delivery, one day in the NICU/special nursery, one day in antepartum, a day at a community WIC office, and a day to follow a lactation consultant -- which is what I get to do on Tuesday.

I can't wait to get started!

I'm like the little engine that could -- nursing school style.
