I have family near the hospital I want to volunteer for it wont be bad to go visit them and do a little volunteering over my break this summer. My cousin also works in the NICU there as a charge Nurse.

Hello All, I just got accepted in to the local nursing program in my area and I start in January. I have worked as a certified nurse assistant for 3 years at my local hospital. I aspire to become a Labor and Delivery nurse, as my ultimate goal someday is to become a Certified Nurse Midwife. However from what I have heard, around my area, is that its hard to land the job in labor and delivery at our only hospital within 100 miles that has a labor and delivery unit. My question is what are some things I can do during the summers to build a resume', in order increase my chances of getting my dream Job? I have thought of traveling to the closest NICU, which is about 120 miles away, to volunteer? What are some other suggestions? Are there any Certs I get? I'm in Eastern New Mexico willing to travel as far as Dallas TX, to get Certs. Lactation consultant maybe??
