Any advice on finding a mother baby job as a (almost) new grad RN? I am really not interested in working med surg and want to get right into maternity, but having trouble finding a job in my area :(

It is wonderful that you want a career maternity nurse. To give quality care for your mothers you need to expand your know base and experience in adult medicine. It is a wonderful and happy environment most of the time. When complications arise it can be significant and quick. That is why you have a responsibility to be as experienced as you can. Two year of med/surg possibly telemetry give you a great foundation for all specialties. The emergency department may also be a good Segway into that career.
These are just some thoughts form a nurse of 44 years who has worked in various specialties.
By reaching out you show passion about your aspirations. Good luck with your career and I’m sure you will be a wonderful labor and delivery RN.
