    Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

    Does one have an advantage coming from a “top” hospital?

    klone replied to wolfgangRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody's bashing teaching hospitals. But when you have residents who need to practice their skills, it means that the nurses rarely get an opportunity to do it. Of course, I'm speaking only of OB,...

    I'd like this more than once if I could. I learned SO MUCH MORE about being an L&D nurse at the little community hospital in the podunk town than I ever did at the high-ranked med...

    Does one have an advantage coming from a “top” hospital?

    klone replied to wolfgangRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a hiring manager, I pay no attention to the name of the hospital a nurse comes from. What I look at, as far as the resume, is the type of experience, and the length of stay at various facilities...
