Suggestions, please!!

Published

Hi everyone! I am currently going into my senior year of a BSN program. I am on my winter break and go back to school January 23/24th. I live in Long island ny and was wondering how I can go about getting additional certifications or what I should do either now or over the summer (or both) to further my education and help with getting a job. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? I love L & D and womens health so I would like to do something to help facilitate getting a job in that area. Any info would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

You could look into the NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program), becoming a certified lactation educator/specialist (this is not the same thing as becoming a lactation consultant), or doula training. You might want to contact Planned Parenthood and see if you can become a clinic assistant or peer educator.

Specializes in L&D, infusion, urology.

NRP for sure. Check out the AWHONN website for fetal monitor certifications (intro, intermediate, and advanced). ACLS would be good, too. There are IV certifications out there, but I have NO idea if they actually help with jobs.
