   JdNNurse2B replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in NICU

   Thanks! Your notebook idea is exactly what I was thinking of. Just terms of what is mentioned through the day that I would want to look up or become more familiar with when I get home from work. Like ECMO. When I went through my shadowing people kept...

   Thank you for the response. I have not heard anything about my assigned preceptor. I was thinking about just emailing my nurse manager and letting her know how excited I am to get started and that I need to schedule my NCLEX on a weekday and let her...

    JdNNurse2B replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in NICU

    Thanks! I'm still waiting. I spoke to the Nurse Recruiter today. She is still waiting to hear from one of the Nurse Managers. I think it will be kind of hard for the Nurse Recruiter to say a whole lot. The night I shadowed there was a lot going on a...

    Hi Everyone. I shadowed in the NICU today! Amazing! I have so many mixed emotions about it. I loved it. But then seeing some of the more critical ones got me so worried. What if I never get that good or competent to care for those ones? It makes me ...
