Hi, I'm an RN who graduated with an Associates Degree in 2009. I was 7 months pregnant at the time so I did not look for a job right away. Now it's almost 3 years and 2 kids later and I still have not worked as an RN. I'm currently working towards my BSN and I've been applying at various facilities but no luck so far. Is it time to take a refresher course or is there still hope that I might be able to get someone to hire me and give me a chance? Any thoughts would be appreciated. :)

I'm starting a nursing program this fall with the long term goal of eventually becoming a midwife. I've heard that it's really difficult for a new graduate to get a job in labor and delivery. So I was thinking of trying to get some experience while I'm in school. I was going to send out a resume and a really good cover letter to midwifery practices in my area to see if there are any employment/shadowing opportunities. Is this a good idea? Anything specific I should put in the letter to make it really stand out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Yes, I did register. My clinicals are on Tuesday nights at Mather with Prof. Thornton. How about you?

I'll be starting the evening program at Suffolk in the Fall as well. Don't really know how it is either. Hopefully it will be good.
