So Excited

Published

Specializes in OBGYN.

After 6 months in med-surg which I've known is not where I wanted to stay long term in my career, my husband, son and I are relocating to near Rochester NY and I just got offered a position at a hospital there in their Birth unit!! I am soooo psyched. This is always the area of nursing I have wanted to be in! I start next month and have 12 weeks of orientation! It's very exciting.

Any words of wisdom/encouragement - tips that I should know - from those of you who have been in this area for a while would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jennifer
