Thank you so much for this advice! Currently applying for some Per Diem jobs in pediatrics--- inpatient and offices, fingers crossed!

Thanks!

I had not thought of doing private duty nursing, I will definitely look into it, thank you for your advice!

Hi, I am a new grad who just graduated in May of this year with my BSN. I am also from the New England area. I just started my career 2 months ago on an adult surgical unit, the same unit where I was an LNA for 3 years all through nursing school. I am so grateful for a job, as nowadays new grads getting hired in acute care is becoming harder and harder. But my passion is in pediatrics. I love children and my favorite job I ever had was my side jobs babysitting! Most ped RN jobs in my area require prior peds experience, and I tried to get a job as an LNA in peds before I was an RN and even that seemed impossible. How can I increase my chances of getting a job in peds? Do I put my time in doing med- surg for a few years to just get some RN experence in the first place? Or is there something else I could be doing in the mean time to put on my resume that would help me get a job working in peds? Any and all advice is welcomed!! :)
