Hey, i recently got hired as a new graduate nurse on L&D. Best advice i can give you is to NETWORK. Also, try to get some doula experience. There are a lot of helpful youtube video about getting hired in specialty nursing areas. Here is one that I really liked : Best of luck!!!

I am a new graduate nurse who has just accepted a position on L&D! I recommend getting doula experience if possible, volunteering or doing cna work on mother/baby or L&D, and NETWORKING. Join AWHONN as a student and attend a local meeting. Reach out to L&D nurses or midwives that work on that hospital and express interest in the field/seek their advice...and stay in contact with them! Good luck

Thank you for your comment. This gives me a lot to think about. I am current considering an offer to work on L&D at Northside ATL as a new graduate and find comments like yours helpful. Is there anything you do like about working at Northside in L&D? What is the nurse to patient ratio and do you feel supported? Thanks!
