    Also, most people go into nursing school thinking they want to be a certain kind of nurse....I thought originally that I wanted to be a L&D nurse.....BOY WAS I WRONG. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. It's just not for me. I have much res...

  6. Maybe an ignorant question, but I'm asking it anyway....

    I would be really careful about this program. This is not an easy specialty. They do NOT teach you what you need to know in a BSN program about sick neonates,, it is all learned basically in the unit.....and boy is there a lot to learn. I would sugge...

  15. Are there any Adult ICU nurses who switched to NICU out there?

    I'm worried about the "easier" thing...It's not the first time I've heard it. And it didn't have to do with turning the pts. No offense to those out there.
