Okay, so I'm not technically a nursing student...I'm a Junior in High School! However, I'm very passionate about becoming a nurse, specifically a labor and delivery nurse. Can I get advice on how to start? Pros and Cons? Thank you all so much :)!

As a current senior in nursing school, how/when should I contact hospitals for potential jobs? I am looking to work in a specific state but I don't feel like Indeed (and other similar websites) are the best places to find jobs for a soon-to-be nurse.

Why can’t I get an interview? I’m a new grad & all of my applications get reviewed & never get selected to interview. I want to start in L&D/PP so I know that’s a part of it, but I’ve talked to so many nurses that started as new grads in a specialty.
