I would go for your BSN. Most hospitals are only wanting to hire BSN. Even some make you sign a contract saying that you must get your BSN within 4 years. I would say that most of the schools here for the BSN program are HIGHLY competitive. The ADN p...
Thanks everyone. Klone, I wish I did something like you to get out of the bedside. I work mom/baby and you are right, I'm just the patients over paid server. I love the people I work with, but I just need to get out. Do you have any suggests on what ...
Hey everyone, I am feeling so burnt out right now from my job. Bedside care is really taking a hit to me. Has anyone found a job where they still did nursing but didn't do the clinical bedside aspect of it? Did you like this job? I feel like I need a...

The next new grad class at St. Joe's is in March. I don't know about the other hospitals. If they don't do one in March then for sure in June at all three.
SE_BSN_RN, Good news. I finally got a job on a mother/baby unit. I was lucky, because it's at one of the sister hospitals and I think what made me stand out was that I was an internal applicant. I'm so happy that I got this job and will not take it f...

Hello OB-GYN nurses, I have been trying and working very hard to get into maternal/newborn nursing. I've been a nurse for 3 1/2 years on a very busy medical-surgical unit. I have great experience that I can bring to this field of nursing. I have been...
Thanks for the advice guys. It so hard to get into these area. Some of the recruiters I've talked to were telling me to apply to med/surg positions at their facilities to maybe get into maternal/newborn nursing. I'm at a facility right now and they c...
Sourapril, I've tried and talked to the managers. I guess Denver Health is on a hiring freeze, because they just laid off a bunch of people. I just don't know what to do anymore. I just need that one person to give me a shot at it and then I can tota...
To anyone who will listen and offer maybe some advice, I have been in med-surg for 3 years now. Out of nursing school I wanted to do maternal/newborn care. These past few months I've had two interviews for a NICU position and a mother/baby position. ...
