Hilarious!

Sounds like you still have a lot to learn about what being an L&D nurse completely entails. Maybe as a doula or in a low low risk birth center would be a better fit for your ideals.

Also...Did you happen to see that over 500 people were at the job fair? I read it on their Facebook page. Lots of competition and may explain why it will take some time to get back to everyone.

I also attended the job fair and am anxiously awaiting word. I asked during the second interview what the next step would be and was told to expect a phone call from HR to schedule a formal interview with the Med/Surg Manager. I was not given any s...
