Question for L&D Nurses!

Hey all~
Quick question. I would really like to work L&D. However, I have no experience and at this time would not be able to commit to a full-time position. Would it be realistic to apply for a PRN L&D position but have to be trained? Most of my experience is in Peds/ER. Thanks in advance!

Re: Question for L&D Nurses!

You are going to find it very difficult to get a prn position without having any previous experience in Labor and Delivery. They will expect you to have the training already before you even start, and only have to show you how things are done there, but not train you from the beginning.

Any training program that I have ever seen has been for full-time work and it takes months before you would feel comfortable to be on your own.
