I am kind of confused. I've done lengthy research, too. Do you major in Midwifery Nursing and get a job in that area immediately or just Nursing [RN] and get a job with that and move into the neonatal area after working for a while?

I am planning on moving within the next 6 months to Portland. I am a fairly new nurse working for a couple of years, but have some good certifications under my belt for the field I want to work in, trauma. I am just wondering if anyone is aware of the RN job market in Portland and if the high unemployment rate includes healthcare as well. Any information would be great.

My wife has been working as a RN at a hospital in Wisconsin for 10+ years. Recently she got her Master's degree and passed her boards to become a Nurse Practitioner. She is continuing to work in her RN job until she is able to find a NP position. However, the hospital has informed her that because she is now licensed as a NP she will be terminated in 90 days. Nobody has been able to give us a reason for that besides "hospital policy." She does still hold a RN license. Is this legal? If they do terminate her, would we have grounds for a wrongful termination case?

I am taking my pre-reqs for nursing-RN (just starting), and I work for 2 home health agencies as a CNA. I was wondering if they give priority to people who have had a job in the healthcare industry. I know they go by higher GPAs, but I was wondering if they also consider your healthcare background. Thank you!
