I had an interview for the NICU, L&D, and Postpartum last week. The next day I found out I got the job in L&D and was the best they interviewed. This week I emailed one of the managers asking if they still had an opening in postpartum because it may be a little easier transition but if there was not a position I was more than happy and excited with L&D. Four hours later I got a phone call saying my offer was being withdrawn. No response from the manager at all. I felt like my world came crashing down and all my dreams were crushed. I emailed, emailed, and emailed trying to explain my indecisiveness but still have not heard anything. I know I lost the job and made a mistake by bringing forth doubt on my interest within the position. My question is should I keep volunteering in the NICU at this hospital? What do I say when I see the hiring managers that let me go before I even started? Do I act like nothing ever happened? They will be hiring again in a couple months do you think I may be given a second chance? What do I say if I'm given a second interview? I am so confused and devastated about this entire situation since L&D is where I have wanted to work since day 1 of nursing school. I was just scared, anxious, and nervous about all the stress and high intensity that comes along working in this high risk area as a new grad. I let my fear and emotions get the best of me. Any advice is appreciated!

I am a new graduate RN and I have an interview for L&D and the NICU. I would like to know from fellow nurses within these fields which one would be less stressful for a new grad. How often do you come across STDs and HIV amongst laboring moms? Do you know if a mom has any of these upon admission. How long did it take to feel comfortable within the field? What is the most stressful part of your job in NICU and/or L&D?

Anyone know where I can get the evolve case studies??? I have looked everywhere. I am currently in block two and my hesi exam is coming up fast!!!
