Was on Disability now Retired

Specializes in OB, Telephone Triage, Chart Review/Code.

For the past 4 years, I have been trying to reenter the Nursing profession. I took the Nurse Refresher Course and even shadowed a position but was turned down because I didn't have recent experience. My specialty is L&D. 
 

I acquired over 70 CEU's to keep abreast on any changes in my specialty. I became a Birth Doula to hone my skills in assessment and watched the nurses in their duties. I had nurses ask me for ideas for positions to benefit labor. 

I'm certified in NRP and Advanced EFM. 
 

I've applied to a Nurse Residency position at a local hospital in hopes of getting the opportunity to work in my specialty. With my years of experience, I figure I am between a seasoned nurse and a new grad. 

Any words of wisdom?
