Lindarn, I checked with Evergreen and they said there weren't going to have any new grad openings for a while. Is this an internal position you know about? Or am I not speaking to the correct people. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I would LOVE to work at Evergreen!

Hello there. I graduated with my BSN in May and am extremely interested in working in Postpartum/Nursery/Mother-Baby/Couplet Care. I have gotten certified in BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, STABLE and Fetal Heart Monitoring. I am working on my Childbirth Educator's Certification. I have no other hospital experience except what I've done during my three years of nursing school at 6 different facilities. My question is what's the fastest, most efficient way to work in the department I'd like to call home. With these sketchy economic times, I'm not quite sure how to go about this. Should I just take a job as a CNA or LPN in the facility I'd like to work for and wait for an opening? Would that even help, since most postpartum jobs I've looked at required experience in Postpartum and/or L&D? Should I wait for a new graduate RN position to open up? Will I be waiting for a year? Should I just apply for Med/Surg positions to get a few years of experience, then apply later to postpartum? I know no one can really answer these questions, but whatever suggestions, especially from personal experience, would be really helpful and greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hello there! I recently graduated with my BSN in Hawaii and am looking for jobs here and along the west coast. I've been looking for months in Hawaii, California, Oregon and Washington and have had no luck. Anyone know of any new grad positions or new grad residency programs starting up with in the next few months or even anytime next year? Thanks.
