At my appt. Tuesday DH & I were talking to the Dr. about my upcoming graduation... Dr. said, "Remind me again what degree you will be graduating with?"
I proudly proclaim NURSING.
Dr., "Well what area of nursing would you like to get into?"
Me, "I'm not really sure yet. Possibly maternity."
Dr., "Well you know fertility nursing is a great area to get into. We are always looking for great people *WINK*. Plus you would come with a wealth of knowledge & experience."
I look over at my DH & continue to tell my Dr. that I had actually considered fertility nursing. I mean me ~INFERTILE~ working with other infertiles & helping them have their dream babies. Plus it is something I am totally interested in. I would love to be keep up to date with all the infertility changes after I am finished with my first IVF cycle. Also, there has to be some kind of IVF benefit working for your clinic... I am totally stoked, I have looked more & more into this & it is a front runner in the options pool.
What do you think guys? An infertile working at the fertility clinic. It almost feels like a would be a mole or a spy, gathering info from teh other side & bringing it to the infertile side?

What a perfect situation for you, and also your future patients. When I went in to see a nurse practitioner for my annual exam and told her I was going thru IVF, she told me she too had gone through IF, treatments and ended up adopting 2 babies and having 2 of her own. I also met a nurse at my RE's office who did my IUI that also went through IF. It was a really nice experience chatting up with someone who can relate. I really hope this works out for you. Really.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be perfect. Your the perfect person to totally understand what the women are going through....I say go for it because honestly I wish there was more inferts working in the clinics.
ReplyDeletei say go for it! it would b so nice to have a nurse that could relate to what the patients are going through.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I speak with my nurse more often that with my RE!
Good luck w/exams and pre-congrats on graduating!
