| Newbie here! New girl here and I mean really new I'm just getting ready to start going to nursing school in the next few months. This is something I've always wanted to do since I was in high school but getting a late start because I had 2 kids right out of high school and another just 3 years ago. But better late than never I guess. I have so many questions but my main one is about how long will I be in school before I can start actually working in a hospital? My goal is to eventually be a labor/delivery nurse and caring for newborns even if I don't start there at first I don't know if that would require more school or special training first. Any answers would be great! Thanks! I'll check in later |

Mood:   | Re: Newbie here! Hi, angelbear! Nice to meet you. Most stuedent nurses are CNA's before clinicals start. Perhaps that would be a good idea. You get some experience along the way. Hope to hear alot about your studies! 'Cat'

Mood:  |  Re: Newbie here! Hi - Just wanted to let you know that I got hired in Labor and delivery the day after I graduated from nursing school and I went to work on an interim permit from the BON. The course the hospital sent me to for L&D took 12 weeks of classroom training which They wanted me to do right away - I didn't take my NCLEX until 120 days after I graduated and I passed on the first try. I now work in psych but wouldn't mind going back to L&D some day. If I could find a hospital with 8 hour shift like I have in psych. Peace and Namaste Hppygr8ful |
