What’s the most strenuous part about being a L&D Nurse?

I'm in a LPN program soon doing a LPN to RN bridge program once I graduate. I plan on being a labor and delivery nurse once I get my RN.

Tyler’s Answer

From my friends who are nurses and those I’ve spoken to, the most common concern/challenge as a nurse is work life balance.

Many nurses work 4 10 hour shifts, which can be difficult as they are not just long shifts but can be emotionally draining.

Other challenges include rigorous training, being on your feet (vs just a desk), etc.

Hope this helps!

William’s Answer

I agree with Tyler and would add that his comments ably to any clinical position in nursing. Unique to L&D nursing is both the emotional highs of delivering a healthy baby to the expecting parents. Then there are the lows of delivering a baby with unexpected problems, a still born baby, or a miscarriage. Finally depending on where you practice laws passed by the uniformed may prevent you from providing the care you know is appropriate. Having said all this I can’t imagine a profession more rewarding.
Best of luck with your education and career.
