Hi I posted before in a different thread but i didn't get any responses so I'm trying again

I was recently hired at harlem hospital HHC and I start in a week I just would like to get any advice on what i should be doing to prepare myself... Im a new grad and i haven't a clue. The position is in the L&D department for nights 7pm -7am any advice from anyone or any one currently working at HHC facility would be greatly appreciated!!

Visit your local bookstore and read up on the functions/duties/expectations of an L&D nurse. That's your first step. There are tons of books out there on it.

congrats and good luck! how did you apply if you don't mind me asking...

[laynaER]

sorry about the double post. I just saw your response on the other thread. did you follow up after you put in the paper application or did they just call you?

[TREC96]

Thank You:)

I put in a paper app and i received a call about a month later for an interview, no i didnt call to follow up before that

Forgot to add- Good luck and congrats! You are the envy of your class I'm sure. L&D positions are hard to find, even with experienced nurses. Harlem Hospital sounds like a great start to your nursing career, imo.

I'm def going to ask lots of questions and find someone to attach my self too that can help me along Im so excited bc i wanted l&d so im happy happy:D
