I had the same situation happen to me! In nursing school I really enjoyed my OB class & clinical rotation but I didn’t apply when I graduated since most places require experience. I worked on a neuro/tele floor for 2.5 years and it was not always a good place to be but I got great experience! I told my manager that I wanted to do L&D and she said they weren’t hiring at the time but would give me the L&D manager’s email so I could request to shadow their floor. I ended up shadowing and then a position became available and I applied right away. They really liked my experience I had on the floor and I had charge nurse experience too. I just started in February and it’s been great so far! Good luck!

So I just accepted a Labor Nurse position at the hospital I currently work at! I’m so excited I’ve wanted this job for so long! I’ve been working on a neurology/neurosurgery/tele floor since I graduated nursing school 2.5 years ago and I have 1.5 years charge experience. I just wanted some advice since this change will be so big for me and I don’t really know what to expect! Thanks!
