First day at NICU

hi Chris,

Sorry for the late reply. I'm in a "standard" 4 year BSN-RN program, and from the information I could get, there is no option to practice a speciality by the end, including working as an employed student nurse at NICU. I've heard that I would need more courses to be able to work, even after graduating. Anyway, it wont stop me; I had a great experience there (excluding a toxic nurse, but that's part of the deal anywhere). Meanwhile I'll keep learning as much as I can. I will let you guys know how it went. I'm pretty much finished my practicum for this year (a week left), and feel like a dead horse Any of you at school right now?

I'm seriously considering it! Thanks!

7 ?!? That's interesting. I think there is no man here. Do you have to spend other shifts in perinatal and peds, or can you simply stick to NICU where you are? Also, did you had to specialised yourself after becoming an RN? Anyhow, I think I would, just to increase my knowledge and confidence.
