  3. any tips to land a job in a maternity setting w no experience???

    Well I just got hired for a L&D position with no experience and the manager was really impressed that I went out there and joined AWHONN, got my NRP, and did my intro to FHM class.
  4. I finally did it!

    I actually got offered a L&D position at another hospital and I accepted! I'm so excited! The manager was really impressed that I am a member or AWHONN and have my NRP, ACLS, and Intro to FHM class done.
  5. any tips to land a job in a maternity setting w no experience???

    I suggest getting your NRP and joining AWHONN, you can also take the beginning to FHM class by AWHONN. If you're trying to get into the hospital basic med/surg is great as well as critical care / ICU / and ER.
  6. I finally did it!

    I think those things help because it shows you have initiative and are not waiting for your employer to provide those things for you. I am a member of AWHONN (been for over 3 years) and have gone to two conventions. I also have my ACLS and NRP as wel...
  7. I finally did it!

    I got my foot in the door of OB nursing finally! It took me six months to get my first job out of nursing school when I was living in Colorado. So I started out working in a prison for 6 months, we then moved to Texas and I worked on a Med/Surg unit...
  8. What Graduate Nurse/Internship Programs are available now?

    20 jobs? I applied to over 200 jobs in 6 months and ended up working in a Prison. Try harder...
  9. Funny Names

    My best friend's name is Candida. I like to remind here every once in awhile she was named after a vaginal yeast....lol.
  10. Medical Nurse with an OB interview, any advice?

    Did you end up getting the job? You interviewed at the hospital you are working at? Did you current boss know you were interviewing for this position? Sorry I ask so many questions, I'm going to be starting on Med/Surg soon and want to eventually...
  11. Best place to get NRP & C-EFM certification?

    For NRP look at your local pediatric hospitals and get in contact with a person that runs the classes. I was going to take a NRP class before I moved at a Children's hospital.
  12. I need some advice on getting hired PLEASE!!!!

    Does your hospital not have a NICU? Maybe you could start with PICU or Mom & Baby at your current hospital instead of trying to switch hospitals.
  13. Unsure of where I belong...

    I say give it some more time. Maybe if you still feel the same after a year look into transferring to a different department. I think it is pretty common for us new grads to second guess ourselves and question everything.
  14. 29 applications in and still no job!!!

    29 applications???? I had over 200 in before I got my first job!
  15. How many of you here wear ted/support hose to work?

    Any one recommend any that don't make you too warm? My problem is finding some that don't make me hot.
