*Hi guys! Liesel here. I wanted to let you know that the Mommy Labor Nurse podcast as you know it is currently getting a HUGE facelift!

In the meantime, please enjoy this re-air of a fan favorite episode!! And stay tuned to my instagram for updates on when the new and improved Mommy Labor Nurse podcast will be back with all new episodes!*

******

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast I'm joined by my sister and MLN team member, Jenna, for a fun get-to-know-me style episode.

Usually, I'm the one interviewing other people, but this week Jenna is going to interview me so that you can get to know me better, professionally and personally!

You'll hear about how I got started in L&D, my L&D superpower, what I'd be doing if I wasn't a labor and delivery nurse, and a whole lot more.

What questions do we cover?

  • Where are you from, how old are you, and what's your "official" job title?
  • What was your first exposure to the L&D world?
  • What were you doing when you decided to become an L&D nurse?
  • What do you like most about being an L&D nurse?
  • What do you like least about being an L&D nurse?
  • What is your L&D superpower?
  • What might you be doing if you weren't an L&D nurse?
  • What are you doing when you're not working in the hospital or on MLN stuff?
  • Who tolerates your crazy schedule?
  • What are three fun facts about yourself?
