I am a nursing student and I will be graduating in December. I am very interested in working with babies and maybe doing some work with older kids also. I am looking into different Childrens Hospitals in Florida because I know the best way to get in is to find a hospital to put you through training. I haven't been able to find too many that are just dedicated to children and I have a feeling that a regular hospital that has a childrens department but is not fully dedicated to children might not have a training program. Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting into a neonatal position? Is it best to start off in Med-Surg or would it be ok to go straight into children? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to getting started with my nursing career and making a difference.
Thanks......:)
