L&D after time off

Hey ladies,

So I'm currently a stay at home mom with my newborn. I planned to stay home until about 6 months and then start looking for a job. I am still a new nurse, I graduated in 2014 and have only worked as an RN for about 6mo in a hospital. I worked in ICU and then did peds private duty up until I went on maternity leave.

What's the best way for me to get back into the hospital and into a new speciality after being away for a while?

Thanks!!

    I should also add that my experience giving birth is what has influenced me to want to get into L&D!!

    There's lots of good stuff here about getting into mother-baby/OB/L&D nursing. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, why not have a look around and see if your questions have already been answered.
