2. Problem with preceptor and night shift.

   CallieAnne posted a topic in MICU

   I'm on orientation in the surgical ICU. Most of the nurses who work the night shift on my unit are not very friendly, and seem to have little to no patience. I feel like I'm learning nothing. I want to know that I can take care of someone, and I just...

   CallieAnne posted a topic in NICU

   Now that I'm about done with nursing school, I thought I had settled on adult critical care. I have done my internship in an ICU and I do enjoy it. It's just everytime someone mentions NICU I just wish I could say I did that. I'm drawn to it as if it...

5. Is this true about most nurses..

   CallieAnne replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in General Nursing

   I think people treat you the way you treat them. Sometimes you run into the "eat their young" kind, but not really. Ask questions. Be assertive in your education. Some doctors are real jerks and can really spit out a mouthful in the middle of the nig...

8. Graduating Nursing School In May....

   CallieAnne replied to CallieAnne's topic in NICU

   Thanks. I just keep going back to NICU, and I think it is where I'm supposed to be. The great thing about nursing is that if it doesn't work out I have a LOT of other options. I'm glad for your input though, and I think I've found a hospital with a p...

9. Graduating Nursing School In May....

   CallieAnne posted a topic in NICU

   I'm still unsure of where I want to go. I am doing my internship in adult ICU. I had a friend tel me it was better to work an adult ICU for a while before going into a NICU. Sometimes I agree, but then I realize how strongly I feel about babies in ge...

    I am doing an internship for my next semster of school, and then I graduate in May '08. I have read all the reasons y'all love NICU so much, and I loved what little bit of it I have seen. I still can't make up my mind though. I'm doing my critical ca...
