If you know me at least the slightest bit, you will know that nursing is my passion. I love it! I live it, I breathe it. If you want to get my attention start talking about medical stuff and you will likely have a captive audience. (Though, fair warning, be prepared to hear more than you could ever want to know about nursing.) Nursing is my life because I love it and have let it seep into every inch of my life.
Today I was talking with my clinical instructor about how much I love nursing, but not just any nursing. I specifically love women's health--which can be quite an awkward topic to talk about, fun fact. Anyway, right now I am very torn as to what field to "specialize" in, or do my capstone/internship in. I absolutely L-O-V-E Labor and Delivery, but I feel like you don't see as much variety in Labor and Delivery. On the flipside, I enjoy emergency/critical care nursing, and I would learn a lot more diverse skills, though I don't think it's what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Blech! I hate making decisions like this. Fortunately, I have 6-8 months before I have to actually make these decisions. Let's just hope I can actually make up my mind during that time. Haha :-)

Does L/D included postpartem recovery and the nursery? Or are those seperate specialties?
Not really, our clinical is officially "women's health" so we have rotated through L/D, mother-baby, and nursery/NICU. I could always be a "float nurse" and get to rotate through the different specialties as they need me, though I like routine so I'm not super thrilled by that idea.
