I just recently graduated from nursing school with my BSN in December. With COVID still lightly around, it has been very hard finding a position as a new grad in OBGYN or pediatrics, since spots are limited, which is where my passion is. I am open to anything such as: mother/baby, NICU, women's GYN, pediatrics, labor & delivery. Yet it has been so hard to land a job in these areas. I graduated from one of the top schools in my state, however I do not have any hospital experience. After many rejections from applying to these areas. I finally landed a labor & delivery position at a local small community hospital, it is a very small and much older unit, however all the staff members seemed very friendly. Should I accept this position and learn as much as a I can for a year then transfer to a larger teaching hospital or should I keep applying? I don't want to get too picky since many of my classmates have jobs already, but at the same time I don't know if this is the best opportunity, I am lucky to live in an area where there are many hospitals and always hiring nurses in med sure, progressive care, etc.. however its not my passion like my love for Peds/womens health. Add on: By all means I do not think I am too good for a community hospital, however I am not sure it'll offer everything I want to learn and not sure if the pay will be much lower than the bigger hospitals.
