I am a male nursing student graduating in May. I would like to go into L&D or postpartum as a new grad if possible. I know my gender presents a hurdle in this field but I'm hoping it's still possible. I'm in California, which has a tough market for new grads, let alone in L&D. However, I'm willing to relocate anywhere in the country, so I'm asking which areas of the country you see new grad nurses getting hired into these fields in. I also wanted to ask whether any of you work with any male L&D nurses.

surprisingly, I say Utah. I work L&D in Utah and we just had a male preceptor who was amazing and patients adored him but he took a job just north of us. there are two major corporations Utah, IHC & HCA. IHC makes you have like 6 months experience before you specialize but HCA, mountain star here in Utah, we love having people to train the way we like so look into those!
