Curious...any of you guys considering Peds/PICU/NICU?

I take my final exam on my peds rotation tomorrow. It's been a tough (lecture) class, but I loved the clinical aspect of it. So much, in fact, that I've already begun talking up the department manager over the PICU, hoping to do my preceptorship there (or even on the general peds floor).

I was already leaning towards nicu/picu/peds, and my clinical experience this semester just cemented that decision.


Start OB on 10/20.

I am interested in NICU, when i did my peds rotation last year i was on a step-down like nicu unit and really enjoyed, i have since wanted to either work in nicu or burn ( i know quite different)...but can you give me advice on where new grads are able to start in a Level III nicu b/c i am also interested in NNP (so i know i need 2 years of level 3)

This sounds like a very interesting area to definitely work in.I think it takes alot of courage and professionalism in general to work in this area.
