Hi,
I was wondering if you awesome LDRP nurses could help me. I would really like to become one of you. I have been a little confused in the past about what I wanted but I truly do believe this is it. After nursing school, I worked in a NICU for about 11 months. I loved the job but the working environment was horrible. I went into the job knowing this because I did my preceptorship there, but I thought I would give it a chance. It didn't work out in my favor. However, I did learn that I love working with mothers and babies and I absolutely adore patient teaching.
Then, I went to a pediatric ER, where I am now. I have been there about 11 months. I am not totally sure why I picked this job, I think I was so excited about being offered a job after my other experience that I didn't think. I love the fact that I learn about new diseases and treatments and get experience with critical thinking and time management. However, the ER is not for me.
I truly believe that LDRP would be for me. I experienced it a little with going to births from the NICU but I truly would love to do it. I believe that I have the ability to do well at something that I truly do enjoy doing and I believe I would enjoy this. It is crazy because the only clinicals that I enjoyed during were LDRP and Peds.
I don't have LDRP experience but I would even be willing to start off in a women's health area and work my way over from there.
I would be willing to move anywhere(I live in Michigan now). I truly believe in my heart that this will be my niche and I can learn and grow(and spend longer than 11 months

).
Any help on places to apply that will take someone with limited experience but a willingness to learn would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and have a blessed day!!
