Here is my situation:
I am currently an LPN in school for my RN. After I get my RN (in two years) I want to be a Certified Nurse Midwife. I would really like to work, currently, in OB or women’s health or a woman’s clinic, basically something to get me in the direction of becoming a CNM and gaining some experience in that area of nursing. My problem is that I live in an area of Ohio that is flooded with nurses. LPNs mostly work in Long Term Care because the local hospitals are smaller and they have a lot of RNs to staff them anyway.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get an employer to recognize my potential and step outside of the norm to hire an LPN in an area dominated by RNs?

Thank you!
