I started my preceptorship in L&D at Timp. Hospital this week. Can I just say it's . . . "Awesome!" I am totally loving it. I've got a cool preceptor and the other nurses are so good to give me learning experiences. Joe thinks I'm crazy when I come home excited about IV's, placing Foley catheters, and the latest . . . cervical checks! It is seriously the coolest thing.
While I was helping take care of a laboring mother last night, I realized that she was in the same L&D room that I delivered Jake in. I got teary-eyed knowing that was the room and experience when I decided once and for all that I was going to school to be a L&D nurse. It feels fantastic to finally be where I belong.

Too bad I'm done making babies...I'd love to have you as my nurse!
Dang Wendy!! I just had Saylor there 2 months ago- the L&D nurses were awesome (I had a student or 2 too) But the labor was awful! I had magnesium (Ugh!!), and 2 catheters- one before and one after delivery- it was horrid!! I had to be on mag for 24 hours after- and the nurse I had in Post delivery was dumb dumb dumb- she didn't think I needed my blood pressure checked at all!!
Anyway sorry to go off there... it would have been awesome to see a familiar face- I wish you'd been there 2 months ago!
that's cool that you are livin' your dream!!
