   I think I remember Sheri saying that they give us the first three uniforms and if we want more after that we pay. I'm not sure how much for each though. Does that sound familiar to anyone else?

    linRdsNay replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU

    Congrats!! I love the connections you can make with the families in the NICU, it's part of the reason why I wanted so badly to work in that unit. Take pride and joy in the fact that you're doing well, but I agree with BittyBabyGrower. It might be ...

12. NICU Job Upon Graduation

    linRdsNay replied to EMS226's topic in NICU

    Would it be possible to take on a volunteer position at that hospital, maybe even in the NICU itself? Even if it's just paperwork or filing, its a great way for you to get noticed and for people there to get to know you. Good luck!
