Hi everyone! I am a fresh nursing graduate looking into work opportunities at IVF clinics. I am excited about the possibility of beginning my career in this specialty but I'm also curious about additional avenues that lay ahead. Passionate about women's health and obstetric nursing, I aspire to work as a labor and delivery, mother/baby, or postpartum nurse. Yet, despite my efforts and numerous applications, securing a hospital nursing position or new grad program acceptance in the bay area has been challenging since I recently moved here. Has anyone here started their nursing career at an IVF clinic and later transitioned to working in a hospital setting? If you hire for a hospital, what are your thoughts on hiring nurses who come from a non-hospital background? I'd love to hear about your experiences and any advice you may have on making such a move in the future. Your insights would be greatly appreciated! ??

Hi everyone, I am a newly graduated nurse living in the CA bay area. I am having a difficult time trying to find my first job despite applying to numerous positions and hospital new graduate programs. My passion and dream is to become a labor and delivery, mother/baby, or postpartum nurse as women's health and obstetrics is what led me to pursue nursing in the first place. Due to my lack of success in the job search process, I have began to consider other avenues. One avenue that has peaked my interest is that of a surgery nurse in an IVF fertility clinic. If I begin my career in a facility outside of the hospital, will this limit my ability to ever work in the hospital later on down the line? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
