I do know that in my state...All of the 4 yr colleges are only doing BS programs. The hospitals around here are prefering BS degrees over an associates. All of the associates are being transfered to small private colleges and have heard that is hard to find a job and it is very hard to get in the hospital. Like everything else...guess it depends on where you live. **** also.....What is ACLS and what other classes can I take or certifications can I get on top of my BAS to get into L&D or thr E.R.?

So I guess that would depend where you live and what is available at the time. There are certain departments I don't want to work in. So I guess I'll have to just shop around:) Thanks for the replys.What exactly is an ACLS. What certificaations or classes can I take to make me more qualified to get into these departments

When I first started out in nursing scool, I wanted to work in labor and delivery. The more schooling I have completed, the more I see that most everyone else wants the same. I have made a second choice and decided I would love to work in the E.R. How likley is it that I can obtain either of these jobs right out of nursing school? What special classes can I take to obtain my goals and is there anything else I can do to get one or the other?
