What did you do...

Nothing, I came into OB/L&D as a new grad

Same here. If you want l&d just apply to every open position they have unless it asks for 3-5 years of experience.

I am a new grad as well. I used to work in health education and HIV prevention.

med/surg and acute rehab for 8mo...was a per diem float between the two units.

Yes, I started in OB (with a brief stint in home health). I actually worked in OB before I was a nurse- I was a birth assistant and childbirth educator, then a Certified Professional Midwife and Florida Licensed Midwife (CPM, LM), then went back to school for my BSN, and am now completing my MSN on my way to becoming a CNM!

Was hired as a new grad to work postpartum.

I did 2 years of med/surg before transferring to Mother/Baby and it helped me tremendously.

Med-Surg and Inpatient Psych.

Got hired into L&D as a new grad.
