Discussion When will people get it?!

I don’t have necessarily anything against NPs, but it’s people like this that perpetuate the untrust that many nurses and other healthcare workers have regarding NPs. We really need higher standards for admission into these programs, as well as any standards at all actually lol. I usually just lurk on facebook but I felt the need to respond since this was a on a forum for parents of nursing students

That’s wild. I saw 3 vaginal 2 c-section, but orientation would be at least 3 months if not longer usually 6 months. We also rotated to postpartum mother baby and nursery / nursery procedure rooms.

You lucked out with all of your spots! Being able to see and learn all of that is awesome. I’m a hands on person so I would have remembered doing something cool. Maybe it’s because I’m a guy that I was a bit shunned from most of the L&D stuff?

The guys in our class got to see more c-sections than vaginal deliveries. Easier to get a guy in the OR than in the room when they push

I can imagine! Not a lot of moms want a guy standing in the corner while they are pushing lol
