Strengthen me?

I live in a larger city and I have sent in applications to about 6 different hospitals for their Labor and Delivery department and have yet to get a call back on any of them. I know the problem is that I have no L&D experience. I'm not a new grad but I don't have hospital experience at all, just a year and a half of being a charge nurse in a Skilled Nursing Facility. After graduation I applied to L&D many times but being a new grad and not having done my preceptorship in L&D (smacks own forehead) I was lessbthan desirable. We have a surplus of nurses in this area so can someone offer suggestions to make me more desirable? If there are classes I can take to add to my resume I would be happy to do them, but I know nothing replaces experience... which I just can't get without having experience!I messaged a local birth center asking if could be an unpaid intern... just shadow and observe. I thought that may help me but I have no idea what their response will be.Will getting a job in med-surg in a hospital help at all? I really don't want to do med-surg but if I have to in order to get my dream position (the whole reason for becoming a nurse) then I will do it.Thanks for reading my post. I appreciate it!
