   samantha0890 posted a topic in Emergency

   I am applying for an ER position and whether I get this one or not, I will continue to try. Before going into a job, I tend to study the most common things seen in that field And common meds given, etc. Coming from my first year as a nurse being in N...

   Emtb2rn- I haven't updated it in a long time, is something wrong with it? Lol. Is it because it's an identifier of who I am maybe? Well I changed it, thanks for a reminder , I like my new little character better!!!

   HikingEDRN, you are so right, NICU is definitely not pediatric nursing :)! I'm so glad to hear that you managed the transition. When the time comes, I definitely feel like I'm going to feel like a new grad all over, but I'm ok with that!

   samantha0890 posted a topic in Emergency

   Hey guys! Well to start off, I've been a nurse for a little over 2 years. I started in the NICU for a year and then moved to a medical preschool with kids with special needs for a little over a year now... Still working PRN in the NICU. Neither of th...

8. Any new grad RNs in NICU?

   samantha0890 replied to Kayla.J.RN's topic in NICU

   I am a new grad in a level 3 NICU. I've been on the unit for 5 days so far (not in a row of course) and loving every minute. I haven't made it to the big unit yet, they are starting us off with the babies that are to go home soon. My nerves still get...

   Well I didn't start off in L&D like I wanted, BUT I'm doing my 2nd dream job..the NICU!! and I can eventually cross train to L&D and work both my dream jobs :). So I'm not complaining!! Anything is possible if you have the right mindset!

10. First Day On The Job!!

    samantha0890 replied to samantha0890's topic in NICU

    Thanks everyone!! I am SOOO anal about medications, I quadruple check everything! Luckily, that is one of my strengths! I try to ask as many questions as I can. Right now, since I'm just getting familiar with this area, I don't know exactly what to a...

    So yesterday was my first day in the NICU and as a new graduate! It wasn't the main unit...I'm starting in a step down, step down unit...where they have to be before they go home. Regardless, I had a blast!!! Just feeding and changing these tiny babi...

13. NICU nursing

    samantha0890 replied to brandi-007's topic in NICU

    Go for it!! It is def. a calling! Not just anyone can do it, it takes passion and a lot of hard work! I didn't have one clue aboue nursing when I entered nursing school, but I knew I just had to do it!! I'm shy too, but when I'm in work mode, that al...

    samantha0890 replied to Drake's mom's topic in Arkansas

    I didn't do the LPN track, I went into RN. But I've had several friends go into it and they loved it! Of course they are going to do the fast track to RN. I've heard not many hospitals are hiring many LPNs so its probably best to do that, unless work...

    samantha0890 replied to samantha0890's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Yes, I may sound a little dramatic, but really didn't mean to, lol. I just took something the wrong way. My mistake! :) I understand that med-surg will probably give me more comfort and some experience, and I'll def....
