I don't know about the US but I can tell you you would be in demand in Canada.

There is more of a demand for the OB doctors or certified midwives than nurses at the moment... especially because the insurance premiums have skyrocketed, and so many can't afford to stay in the field. There are women who have to travel an hour or even more in this country now, just for checkups with their closest doctor let alone to go to the hospital's OB department for any reason. It's a sad situation.

As far as the medical field goes, you will always have a job. There are always openings somewhere. The trick is that you have to be flexible. The more flexible you are the more job opportunities you'll have.
4 :
There is a severe nursing shortage in the United States. There isn't a hospital system that isn't hiring and unemployment among nurses is practically non-existent. You should be able to find a job!
