Frustrated seasoned nurse

Specializes in Pediatrics.

I’m not sure how to post a question. But I am super frustrated!! I’ve been a pediatric nurse for almost 8 years and also have 2 years of acute care adults. I want to change specialties but all jobs say you must have experience in this particular specialty. Anyone have any words of wisdom or ideas? I know I’m not alone in this boat. It’s the same thing when you are applying for your first nursing job...argh!

I'm only a pre-nursing student but I do work in a hospital. I've noticed that the hospital will have nursing internships posted, usually alongside the Nurse Residency programs for new grads. Perhaps your system has something similar?

Thanks for your response. I have of course seen residencies but not fellowships or internship. Maybe there just isn’t an option at this time. I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks.
