Fair- places with higher demand are probably more likely to take in new grads. Thank you!

Get in to a hospital and try to get into the L&D department as a CNA!
If you can’t, start somewhere else and do an internal transfer if possible.
Try to shadow their as well.

Some hospitals have nurse externships try to do that as well.

My hospital system has new grad residency with spots in women’s services, so it’s not impossible.

Thank you so much for your help! I am actually planning to apply for a student nursing position now that I am halfway through clinicals, I will look to see if any OB positions are open.
