Path to mother baby/womens services
Hey! So before becoming an RN I was an LPN for 5 years working in long term care. Then I got my RN and went to med surg and did that for a year and PRN at nursing home. Now that I’m more comfortable in my skills and at the hospital, I want to go towards women’s health. I left my hospital job to have a baby and stay home with her but now I’m ready to go back to work. The problem is, IM ONLY GETTING CALLED BACK TO MED SURG UNITS and I’m not happy about it.
I have a job interview for a surgical PCU floor and I’m thinking just go and try to get into mother baby in 6 months to a year.
Or should I do PRN hospital and go work OB outpatient and then apply to mother baby unit after??
Is pcu more valuable than outpatient OB to a mother baby unit manager?
