Hi! I am a new nurse and is interested in working in L & D but I just don't know where to start. I am currently working part time in a nursing home. I looked for hospital jobs but they require experience and have no idea how to get them without getting into a hospital. Thank you!

Hello! I am a new nurse working part time in a nursing home right now and is looking for another job. I applied for a part time position in assisted living and shadowed a nurse for an hour. They asked me if I am still interested in the job. I am conflicted if is the best choice for my career path as they only do assessment and med pass. I want to work in labor and delivery but they require experience and don't know where to start. Do I stick in nursing home jobs right now and see in the future if I can explore other areas? Thank you for your answers!

Aww thank you ChryssyD! I'll wear scrubs then. I am nervous because I haven't been working for a long time! Thank you for the encouragement, I really appreciate it :)

Thank you! The nursing director told me yesterday that she orientation will be a classroom one then I'll have a dementia training. Then I'll shadow a nurse and be with a nurse for 1 or 2 weeks. She said it depends on how fast I get used to the facility. I'm a little nervous!

Hello! I am a nurse in the Philippines and I moved here in the US 2 years ago. I just got my RN license last month and fortunately I got hired yesterday in a nursing home for part time shifts. Quick background, I graduated in 2010 and only practiced for a year back home then I went to med school for 3 years but didn't finish..then moved here. Can somebody please enlighten me what preparations can I make before my orientation (read on topics) and before I am nurse on the floor in general? Do I wear scrubs on the orientation? I am a little scared I won't do well especially I graduated a long time ago and it'll be my first job here. Thank you!!
