There are SO many things that we do on a daily basis that I couldn't possibly fit into one video. Leave any questions in the comments about anything I mentioned or missed!! I still have SO much to learn and every day is a challenge but I'm excited to get better at bringing babies into the world.

Who is she??
Hello!! My name is Margaret Armen. I am twenty-something and I live in the very fun (definitely underrated) Pittsburgh, PA! I left my job in advertising to go back to school for nursing. I just finished orientation as a Labor and Delivery nurse. I love bingeing a good TV show, listening to a murder podcast, and snuggling my little pup, Olive. xx

Margaret, you inspire me. I am just finishing up my prerequisites the first week in August and can’t wait to apply to a couple of accelerated nursing programs in NYC. I truly wish to be able to experience being a L&D nurse! Wish me luck!

Hi i just came from south korea and started as a nurse in l&d ! It is a perfect video for me to think about the flow thankyou

[kaileyhawthorn]

I always think about you during my journey!! You’re just a breath of fresh air, especially with so much negativity right now 💖

Thanks Margaret for the wonderful video! I'd love to see more videos over different types of labor and maybe even examples of what happens when you notice something is wrong, or special steps you take for high risk pregnancies. I'm going to be starting my ABSN in August, but not going to lie - getting very excited for L&D rounds!

I work L&D too! Loved the video! My hospital also has a 2:1 ratio. Do you ever have two patients on pitocin at once?

Hi! What made you want to change your career to nursing? I’m curious because I am currently in the banking industry and after having my baby, I am considering changing my career to become an L&D nurse.

Thank you for making this video🫶🏼 I’m considering studying this career in college (I’m a senior I’m high school right now) and honestly this helped a lot to see how it really is. Was the work for college hard?

So I was going back to school to become an Respiratory therapist then thought about pediatric nursing but now I’m really considering L&D nursing..my only question is would I have to work with adults first or can I go straight to L&D? Thanks in advance

Congrats as a new Nurse! I have a question. I am interested in joining ABSN. I was wondering how did get accepted to the program? How did you complete the prerequisites needed for the program? Did you have to go to college again after your undergrad degree in Journalism? Thank you for your help!

[sonniecody]

Hi. Did you think about postpartum or went strictly into L&d? I’m trying to decide. I really want L&d but my hospital has more PP new grad positions.

I’m also interested in knowing how C Sections work. Do you circulate or do you scrub, or are you with mom. Thank you for this video! It’s so helpful.

[hallierichards]

Hi! Is this pretty much the extent of the care we do for baby? At what point do we get them measured and all that stuff? Who is taking care of baby if something unexpectedly goes wrong? I’m in nursing school and I’m interested in L&D, just wondering how much time do we also get to interact with the babies 😊

How much is your average salary in your state?
