My OB clinical experience, realizing I want to be a labor & delivery nurse | nursing clinicals

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I want to cry at how kind all of your comments are. You guys make my heart so happy all the time. I’m so grateful for y’all 😭♥️

[@david65662]

Girlllllll, we freakin love your vlogs. Your vlogs are sooooooo positive, and, upbeat. Just like Anna Heid vlogs are also. (Love her vlogs.) Oh, and, I have to tell you something. I was having a conversation with a nursing student today. And, I asked her how she liked doing OB. And, she was like. I'm not sure if I like it so far. And, all I was thinking was. You should watch some Ashley Taylor on youtube.

[@ProphetZacJohnston]

👍 👍

[@norasilva1164]

Your great! As always love your Vlogs. They always put a smile on my face. ❤️ Keep them coming. 😊😊

[@Clintong5150]

We love your vlogs, and we love you my friend ❤

[@gymnaastxoxo]

Girl, dont apologize for showing emotion, its exciting and you should feel that way!! I graduated dec of 2018 & I just started working in my dream unit, the NICU. You will get there!! Proud of you!

[@JessicaMartinpolska]

I’m 28 and I’ve never knew what I want to do with my life but having my baby girl in September made me realize that I want to be L&D nurse. Starting a little late, but watching this video and getting emotional with you reminds me how bad I want to get there.

[@Abigail_Kidimbu]

Oh good luck!

[@KatieSev]

I can't tell you how happy I am for you that you decided where you want your career to go once you graduate!! That's so amazing and I know how reassuring that is!

[@mhc562]

Just finished watching this as I fed my 3 month old baby girl. I’m a first time mom and let me tell you that I am so grateful for my labor and delivery nurse. I’ll forever remember her and have so much love for her. She made my experience amazing. The way you expressed yourself reminded me of her. Please pursue your dream and be THAT nurse that loves what she does and makes it a memorable one for the mother. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors 💗

[@kayleerowland9601]

I had to come rewatch this video because I had my first OB clinical last Friday. I always thought I wanted to do NICU, and the experience I had with my OB clinical on Friday exceeded my expectations and confirmed that that’s what I do want to do for the rest of my life. You are not being a baby about it because I called my parents crying after my first clinical! It was such an amazing experience and for the family to tell me that I did amazing and they thought I had been doing this for a while already was the icing on the cake🥺 it’s such a rewarding experience and it feels good when you fall in love with your dream❤️

[@hannahpolitz9768]

GIRL I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it’s so awesome to see all the hard work you’ve been putting in pay off this is incredible you’re going to be a wonderful nurse🥺

[@naomithings]

Definitely teared up twice hearing you talk about this 💛 I want to be a labor and delivery nurse too and hearing you share this experience is making me even more excited to start nursing school 💛

[@allananewton2895]

Hearing what the nurses think of doctors is so sad... I wish every doctor were just like the sweet one you talked about. It still shocks me but I know this is true. I want to be a doctor, it's been my dream since I can remember, and I would never treat someone differently. Ps: You're sooo sweet and I've been watching your videos and I've just found this one and want to say CONGRATS SWEETIEEEE OB IS SOOO AMAZING!!!

[@cassidyxx21]

i am a newly graduated occupational therapist and this made me so emotional!!!! it was not too long ago that i had clinicals too and i remember those feelings of feeling so fulfilled and like you were in the right spot. i had a rotation in pediatrics and soon ill be starting my first job in peds!!!! this was just so beautiful and really hit me because im feelings so many of these feelings right now too of feeling like you found ur calling ❤️soak it all up!

[@ejch4896]

I still remember the first baby I took care of at nursing school, almost 8 years ago 🥰 thank you for sharing your journey and bringing back precious memories ♥️

[@shaunahlamb8186]

Hey! I never comment on YT videos but really felt the need to after watching this :) Your passion and emotion towards the OB is honestly so heartwarming.. you will never know how much impact you have; even as a student. I have an 18 month old son and when I had him my student midwife (UK here) was one of the biggest parts of it. I was her third delivery and I hadnt found out the gender, so she asked if she could be the one to tell us when the baby arrived. She was the one to tell me I had a baby boy! I have pictures on my phone of her and my son and afterwards she was the one to clean up all my sheets and help me into the bath. I sent her the biggest box of chocolates when I left. Please know that when your passion radiates from you and you go above and beyond for your patient, it does not matter what position you are or whether your qualified. You will be a big part of that patients journey and they will never forget you or how you made them feel during such a vulnerable time. Hospitals everywhere need more people like you so go for it and remember these moments when your course is making ypu rip ypur hair out..you got this girl ❤❤

[@syd3086]

So happy for you!! I’m 18 and my life goal is to be a nurse midwife and I’m a Nursing assistant right now so I have a long way to go lol! I feel you, So excited to watch your journey!

[@karissamccoy2530]

just found your channel & i’ve been binge watching. definitely can say you’re my favorite youtuber!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩

[@aliciacelll28384]

i cannot begin to say how thankful i am to see these videos, you literally inspire me so much. and for you to take the time to film/edit this, with all the pressure you have on, just woah. i hope one day i can be as resilient as you are. you’ll be an amazing nurse. 🤍

[@Can_1111]

Thank you so much for this video, I loved it, yes !!! You’re going to be the best L&D Nurse!! I can totally see it, you have it in you ♥️♥️🥰🥰 . You’re going to be the best mom one day, I can see it 👏👏😍

[@alyssa-bb2hw]

this makes me so happy. i’m in nursing school and just finished my maternity clinical rotation and all i can say is wow!! i knew before going into nursing school that i wanted L&D and after my clinical rotation on L&D and mother/baby i’m just overwhelmed with emotion. those days at the hospital really made me feel like that is exactly where i want to be. your emotions and how you talk about your experience is literally me! i get so emotional talking about it because it’s just amazing and inspiring. 💜

[@suz9259]

Ahh hey sister! Nursing student in my last semester and applying to jobs in L&D/Maternity!!! I LOVE it and can’t wait to start!

[@colleen5236]

Omg you are glowing!!! I have never seen anyone love what they are doing as much as you. So happy you. Been enjoying watching your journey ~~

[@shortylucy]

My son was a preemie and born at 27 weeks and weighed 1lb 15oz. He spent 3 months in the NICU and those nurses are the reason why I want to be a nurse. Nurses change lives for the better. I can’t wait!

[@nanners3333]

You just light up talking about your experiences with OB! This is definitely God’s calling for you!

[@rachelwz.22]

MEEE. I’m in 3/4 years of nursing and was so blessed to have an entire 10 week semester on PP/L&D and fell. in. love. Ugh. OB is my absolute dream.

[@angelicaxhope]

I have been lacking motivation lately and just hearing your experience made me remember how much I want to be in this field and why Im going to school. Thank you 💛

[@ashleybush691]

girl this is the first video I have seen of yours and let me say, I already love your channel lol. thank you for sharing your experience and not being afraid to show your emotions. also ur gorgeous!!

[@ericarossi9942]

Thank you for this video!! I want to be a L&D nurse and hearing your story has me excited for my clinical rotation next semester! You're going to do great!💗

[@Aabond00]

Amazing! I gave birth to ** my daughter 4 months ago and I’ll never ever ever forget my night shift nurses. They were so caring and understanding and made my entire labor and delivery experience amazing! 🥲

[@Sara-ok3rp]

Aw so excited for you! I'm in my first year of school right now and I'm so excited to start clinicals! Watching your videos really help me stay motivated:) good luck and God bless!!

[@Clintong5150]

You make my day better everytime I see a notification that you uploaded a new video! ❤

[@mariahdasilva9600]

Back when I was in nursing school, I wanted to be an L&D nurse. After having my L&D rotation, that was not the case haha. I'm currently a Med-Surg nurse hoping to transfer to Peds in the next few months! But I'm so happy you've discovered your passion for L&D! You will make a great L&D nurse one day! Thanks for sharing Ashley 💗

[@janiechr]

this is so funny but im literally sitting here SOBBING listening to you talk about your first delivery. it just made me so happy! I definitely want to be in L&D or NICU so this reminds me why I'm in nursing school and how passionate I actually am. I am soooo happy for you!!

[@carmindevv]

I’m so excited to have another video! even though i’m not a nursing major i love seeing these kinds of videos! ❤️ love you always & you are going to do great!

[@aubssolutely]

I was crying when you were describing your experience and how awesome watching the birth was! I want to be a labor and delivery nurse too and this makes me so excited to get to my OB rotation

[@allisonhermes8241]

L&D is the best! I cried too when I was in OB clinical and saw my first delivery. I still find myself tearing up in some of my patients delivery’s! Best of luck to you as you pursue a future in L&D!

[@Colleenc123]

not me getting emotional with you 😩✋🏻 this is my dream as well. what an amazing experience!

[@reileyann323]

I want to be a labor and delivery nurse and this video made me so excited for it! I cried right along with you through this video!

[@melissasilva2744]

Awn I loved this soo much, so happy for you!!! u had me crying over here too

[@juliagrace9596]

You would make such a great L&D nurse! I had my first baby late last October (HALLOWEEN THEMED B-DAY PARTIES--AMIRITE??) and the whole experience is still pretty fresh in my mind. NICU nursing sounds really hard emotionally. I like your idea of saving it for later. I have spoken to a nurse who floats between L&D, PP, and NICU. That sounds pretty intriguing to me!

[@CiaraNShephard]

PKU tests are my favorite lol. This video makes me giddy for you! OB is the best.

[@haileenicole1812]

I’m a sophomore 1 in nursing and getting ready to take my first nursing school finals!

[@kayscott188]

I’m currently in a nursing program and will be taking OB next semester. Hopefully we get into the hospitals this time. I want to be an L&D nurse as well. I can for sure relate to your experience. I witnessed my little brothers birth which is what has influenced me to choose L&D nursing once I finish school. I cried for hours lol bc It was such a magical feeling witnessing life being brought into the world.

[@tiffanyelizabethann]

Thank you for making this video!! I’m so happy for you how exciting! I hope I have an experience like that when I get to my clinicals! ❤️❤️

[@leonnahobbs5054]

I haven’t started nursing classes yet as I still have one semester of prerequisites to take. But I want to be either a L&D or NICU nurse so badly and watching you tear up made me emotional. I’m a mom of 5 and have had at least one terrible nurse with all 5 of my deliveries. I want to be the nurse that moms look back on and can tell how much I love my job. This was my first time watching one of your videos, but just from this, I think you’ll be a fantastic nurse

[@reyrey61695]

I want to finishing nursing school more than anything, but you know, life gets in the way haha. But anyways, I will never forget the moment I realized I for sure wanted to be a nurse. I was in the room with my sister when she had my niece. She was the first baby in our family, so it was a memorable moment for the whole family. But for me, being there and seeing the nurses that helped her get through this experience was something I will NEVER forget. It also terrified me to have my own child, to the point that I have decided to wait YEARS, LOL. But to be there and see how her nurses helped her and just see the whole thing was so amazing.

[@katygoodman4960]

Love watching your videos! As a mom of 3, there needs to be more nurses like you. Btw please share updated makeup. You always look so pretty and natural :)

[@michellegable4016]

I feel the same way BAWLING at every youtube delivery video. I want to be a labor and delivery nurse too, I can't wait for my OB rotation!!!

[@liztaylor8356]

I am the same way!!! Every video I watch I am sobbing!! I cant wait to do OB rotation as well!

[@david65662]

You'll love the OB rotations.

[@hannahnichole53]

I’m working on my nursing prereqs rn and I also want to be a l&d nurse! So happy I found your channel :)

[@mobileonegaming]

Aww Ashley, its okay to be emotional about it. You found the thing that you love doing and so just keep chasing after that dream of yours. I love hearing about your experiences and it seemed like you had a wonderful time and learned thoughts. Sometimes, when we think back on such wonderful experiences it tends to make us a bit emotional and I have been down that road before and its completely okay!

[@norasilva1164]

So happy for you! Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤️

[@salma31000]

Great! The way you talk abt it is definitely telling us you found your place...I have my L and D this upcoming summer and I’m excited cus I’m leaning towards L and D

[@alexisralston7826]

This makes me so excited for my clinicals to start in the fall! I want to be in the NICU some day but I was thinking starting in labor and delivery or postpartum to start as well!

[@kategarbacik7410]

I’m in OB right now and it’s definitely convincing me to be a L&D nurse! It’s seriously so amazing 🥰

[@93tillll]

I’m so excited for you. I can’t wait to see how far you get 😊

[@annwelchhilyer4192]

thank you for sharing this 😍😍😍 im only 15, but labor & delivery/nicu has been my dream job bc i love me some babies haha and this inspires me so much ❤️🙌🏼❤️ you got this girl!!!

[@hannahbaron9354]

Oh friend, you went the same type of experience I did in clinical. I decided for sure during my L&D rotation that I wanted to do it too. I got an L&D position right out of nursing school. You can do it too!

[@joannalawson7957]

Eeek! I share the same passion for L&D and I’ll graduate 3 months after you...not too far behind you! So excited to see you transition to floor nursing as an RN soon 💕

[@nadineborn9600]

i am in nursing school in germany (year 1/3) and I wanna become a nicu nurse. This video is so inspirational!!

[@breanamardis1736]

Love this so much! I’m in nursing school as well and wanting to be a L&D nurse 😍

[@silvanaferrari5692]

I can't stop crying😩

[@kristennicolosi]

such a beautiful story

[@Abloomingrose2]

It’s my 1st semester of nursing school. I just got back from clinical and my OCD is kicking in, and I’m like “wait did I do that right.” So scary working with people because you never want to harm patients, or become a risk. But a nurse is supervising everything, so that’s what’s comforting me rn. But does that happen to anyone else after clinical, or at least when you were a 1st semester student? Is it just me?! 😖 I worry about patients after I get home, I gotta chill

[@KarinaRoberts]

Hi, I am a new subscriber!! I am currently getting ready to take my pre-exam before I start my nursing program I am wanting to go to school to become a NICU nurse. Thank you for all the nursing videos🤍

[@itsallllli]

I just did my OB rotation too! Besides I didn’t get to give a bath but I got to see a hearing screening and be in the OR for a C section!

[@mariahelizabeth3613]

I want nothing more than to be a labor and delivery nurse or a nicu nurse. Last year I took an early childhood development class and my teacher had nicu nurses come in and and tell us about their job. I was so inspired.

[@allyanderson1542]

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

You have a beautiful heart 🥺 you tearing up made me tear up too

[@elanahoffman6216]

You are going to make the absolute best labor and delivery nurse! I haven't started nursing school yet but I would possibly love to do the same thing :)

[@cassieallred620]

I felt this way in two places: pediatrics and a cardiac progressive care unit. I get that emotion. Haha in OB I only got to see a C-section which was pretty cool, but it was SO hot next to the baby warmer later in the day that I passed out 😂

[@emilyyang7749]

Hi Ashley! I was just introduced to your channel. I’m so thankful that you’ve made a channel, because it informs me how I want to be a OB as well and I will continue to watch your videos. I’m currently 17 years old and a senior in high school. I do have a question about that process of being a OB. What is the process your taking of becoming a OB? Are we supposed to get a BSN before medical school? Should I request to shadow a OB at 17 when I literally don’t really know anything? How do you get to do OB rotations?

[@AshleyTaylorr]

You should set up a time with your academic advisor or counselor at your school so they can get you on the right path!

[@mparga2010]

Why am I crying??? This is so me too I am wanting to work in L&D 💜

[@david65662]

That's funny how you said somethings I can relate to. Like the doctors hate nurses. And, i was like. Not the doctors at the hospital I work at. We all treat each other like family. Even the patients love me and the staff also

[@ellaosmola4673]

I can't believe I have found someone on KZbin who wants to be the same kind of nurse I want to be. #Labor&DeliveryNurseForLife

You kept saying how the family was crying then you were crying and now im crying haha. So happy for you!!

Wait do you get more money if we let the ads play all the way through?? I'll def do that if so!!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I do! It’s what is paying for my nursing school and what makes this channel possible! Thank you ♥️

[@NevAngel]

Hey! Sophomore nursing major here. I also want to do labor and delivery/neonatal. Does your hospital let you keep your nails done? That must be lovely. Feel free to leave advice for me... nursing is SOOO not easy.

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Yeah I’m assuming so cus all the nurses and cnas I shadowed had their nails done!

[@NevAngel]

@@AshleyTaylorr our clinical instructor is anal about sticking to the dress code. She’s scary, so we aren’t allowed to have nails done and we’re supposed to cover tatts. I’m sure it depends on the school!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

@@NevAngel school is more strict than hospital I’ve noticed

[@brittneytruong9232]

First 😍

[@rachelmontoya6945]

I feel like the doctors are sometimes nicer than some of the nurses.

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I seriously have met the best doctors in my last two clinicals! Makes me less nervous to work with them!

[@girlygirl402]

God bless people like you because personally I hate kids I’m more of a animal kind of person specifically dogs😂

is a labour and delivery nurse a midwife ?
