How to get a job in OB as a new grad RN

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hey everyone,

I am a newly graduated RN from an associates degree program in MA with 6 years of experience as a LPN and I'm trying to find out what steps I should take in order to become a OB nurse and hope to eventually work in a special care nursery. My past experience ranges from being a floor nurse at a SNF in which I did a lot of med-surgical tasks, being in a management position, and also visiting nursing.

I know that most OB floors want someone with medical surgical experience or a BSN however I have literally worked with so many sub-acute med-surg patients I just really want to move on into something new that I have a passion for. The only things I have not done as a LPN in MA are things that were not within my scope of practice or working with patients on vents, other than that I have done a lot. Any advice would be helpful, I am hoping to take my boards at the end of December beginning of January, and I am also starting school to get my BSN in January any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!!
