Outpatient OB/GYN Nurse

Published

Specializes in pedi.

Hi Everyone! So, my dream job is postpartum/L&D. I would love to do some outpatient OB/GYN nursing to get my foot in the door, and get some more experience though. I currently work in a pediatric office. I am a RN (taking classes towards BSN) a lactation counselor and I have taken an online certification for EFM through AWHONN. I live in the Boston area (I actually live in Brookline, just off of Longwood!), and would love to work in an outpatient office in the area. Do any of you have any recommendations? Any connections/contacts? This is a difficult field to get into! Thanks in advance :)

I was an outpatient OB nurse for 4 years. I was a new grad fresh out of school. I lucked into the job so I have no advice. It was my dream job for a while too. Good luck. Nobody ever leaves those positions. Just keep your ear to the job postings and make friends within the department so you can get a heads up if someone is planning to leave.

No connections bc I am all the way out in the Pioneer Valley, but I did outpatient OBGYN nursing for a year and I LOVED it. I would still be working there but the 9-5 hours were not compatible with my CNM program. The pay is obviously not that great, but I found it challenging and the hours were really, really nice. You learn a lot in outpatient OB that you just don't come across in LDRP.
