Pediatrics/OB

So I'm in my second to last semester of nursing school at the University of South Florida. We are finally into our pediatrics/OB clinicals and classes and I feel like I've finally found the area of nursing that I am most passionate about. For the first time in nursing school I actually enjoy going to class and reading my homework assignments. Its an awesome feeling to feel so excited and passionate about something. I can definitely see myself loving going to work every day as a neonatal or pediatric nurse. The only thing is I know this is going to be a very competitive field to get into. I was wondering if anyone knows what the chances are of being hired as a nurse in this field right out of college or if anyone has any tips about things that I can do now to make myself stand out as a candidate in this field when I graduate. Thanks!

    chances? your guess is as good as anyone else's. I would try to get into a hospital with a good Pedi department. If they do not have room for a new grad in Pedi right away, or in any of the maternal child areas, then hire in to another department and transfer when something is available. Meanwhile you will be polishing off your pharmacy and assessment skills. No knowledge is ever wasted.
