There are a number of NICUs in Chicago that have preceptor programs for new grads. I started in the NICU at Rush as a new grad, and know of others who went to Michael Reese, and Cook County (Stroger) as new grads in the NICU.
There is no shortage of hospitals in the city and suburban areas with intensive care nurseries, including Children's Memorial, Northwestern, Evanston, U of I, U of C, Lutheran General, Hope Children's Hospital (Christ Hospital), Mt. Sinai, Rush-Copley, and Edward's Hospital. Good luck!
