Thanks for the suggestions! I actually have an interview with Centennial for their GYN oncology and medical oncology unit. The recruiter was very upfront saying that the GYN oncology position is not a pathway for L&D, however. Does that mean working in that unit will hinder me in any way?

Hi All! Sorry if these questions have been asked before but I have been trying to get as many thoughts on the matter as possible. I am graduating August 9th from an accelerated BSN program and am currently in the process of looking for a job. I am certain that OB/Gyn nursing is where I want to end up, however, I am running into the common problem of area (Nashville) hospitals wanting experienced nurses for those positions. Obviously I have no experience beyond clinicals. There also won't be any nurse residency programs offering a Women's Health track by the time I graduate and need a job. I am still applying to L&D jobs but as a new grad, I don't want to get my hopes up. I have pretty much been offered a position at a long term acute care hospital, where I know I would learn a lot and the pay is decent for the area. I am wondering if I would gain good experience there that would help me get into OB nursing, or if I should keep looking for a med-surg job? And if I do end up having to pick from one of these two choices, is there anything I should do in the meantime to help me use/improve on my existing skills and demonstrate my interest? Thanks!
