Working in my first preceptored clinical on Labour and Delivery (L&D) unit helps my learning and growth as a becoming healthcare professional. This unit is very different than other units I have been on before but there is one thing that every floor has in common is to provide client-centered care.

Sometimes, it is really hard to not taking words from our clients too personal such as swear at you and calling you stupid because you do not have the answer for their questions but with the use of assertive communication, it helps me to act like a professional and that person would be feeling respected.

I believe that the more experience I have gained, the better I will be as a successful
