Labor and Delivery Nurse

As you can see, I choose labor and delivery nurse. They care for women during labor and childbirth, monitoring the baby and the mother, coaching mothers and assisting doctors. Labor and delivery nurse prepare women and their families for the stages of giving birth and help patients with breastfeeding after the baby is born. In order to be a labor and delivery nurse you need an associates degree or bachelor's degree in the field of nursing. All of the nurses must pass the National Council Licensure Examination- Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN) for license.  Associate degrees in nursing programs take two to three years to complete and bachelor degree programs take four years to complete. A labor and delivery nurse requires empathy, critical thinking, decision-making, and communication skills. Labor and delivery nurses earn up to $38.62 per hour during a regular shift or as much as 460.57 an hour for overtime. For a daily schedule registered nurses can often be found working 5-8 hour days, 4-10 hour days or 3-12 hour days per week. The four stages are antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, and neonatal.

I choose this topic because it seemed like a really interesting topic and it is really interesting.
