If you are still in school, do well, GPAs matter when competing for a job. After getting your license, if available, apply to hospital with new grad internship program. Apple straight into labor and delivery. New grad programs gives you both didactic and clinical training at the same time, thereby improving a positive learning experience. If the hospital does not offer a new grad program or does not hire directly into labor and delivery start in area related to labor and delivery, like mother/baby unit or newborn nursery. Both area relate to labor and delivery and teach time management skill until you can transfer into labor and delivery. If local hospitals have nurse apprentice programs (NAP) you can work in your desired area as a tech learning. NAPs have a foot in to being hired desired area after graduation.

I agree with Marie! Getting your foot into the hospital is the best way to see if labor and delivery will truly be the place for you. Working as a nursing assistant also prepares you for nursing school and allows you to get more comfortable talking to patients and providing care!
