If this is the wrong place to ask, please advise where else I can post this! I didn't see an area for my question and figured this was the closest.
I am but a lowly student.
After going through infertility for a (collective) 7.5 years, my passion is infertility. I have spent many, many hours sitting in fertility clinics, have gone through so many treatments, medications, and procedures - and the nurses were always more informative than my own Reproductive Endocrinologist. It would be my absolute dream to work in a fertility clinic.
I have only just begun my journey, and am under no illusions about the difficulty I am likely to have trying to obtain my goal of working in a fertility clinic. I know that I will be taking any job that I can at first as a new grad (if I can find one, I know it's hard), I know that it may be years and years until an infertility nurse opportunity comes my way.
My questions are these:
What would you recommend I do to acquaint myself with possibly employers, when I get close to graduating?
Is there a certain area of study that I should focus on?
When I do begin my career, are there certain departments/floors that would give me more experience to better ready myself for a job in a fertility clinic? Infertility involves so many areas of study; from endocrinology to surgery to OBGYN.
Thank you. I appreciate any advice that anyone may have! Even if it's "Get real, lady." :)
