There were other new recruits that started with me, some having chosen different specialties. I applied, did an interview and secured a position, the hospital in downtown Chicago, a commute I could manage. Just before my graduation, it was right there waiting for me, openings in Maternal Child at Mercy Hospital. All along I had been reading Nursing Journals, studying the lists of available positions when they were listed.
She smiled, said there was no way anyone would hire me right out of nursing school. I thanked her, stressing that I wanted to work in Maternal-Child. I worked on medical-surgical units to get more experience.Īs my graduation drew near, the nurse recruiter urged me to apply for a position in one of those units. During my last semester, I did what is called an Externship. I have always been fascinated by science and medicine, so much so that after my children were born and my youngest was ready to spend mornings with other children at daycare, I went back to school, studied and became a Registered Nurse.
