  1. Quitting staff job to travel

    Does anyone know about the traveling need for NICU nurses?
  2. Probiotics

    I was just talking about this topic the other day! None of the NICUs I've worked at have done it but I think doing so would work wonders for their little guts, especially the ones at higher risk for NEC.
  3. One year in, need advice!

    West Coast: UCLA's Level III/ IV NICU is top notch East Coast: Georgetown University Hospital-level III NICU or try the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) All three are awesome teaching hospitals. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

    Hi jlynn, Sorry to hear about the difficult time you had :-( Are you still working with Aureus? If so, how are they now in 2011? And I'm also on the east coast. I'm thinking about assignments in DC, NY, or Miami. Have they gotten better with east co...

  7. Need help to convince parents!

    Go straight into the 4 year BSN program. Do not go for your ADN first. Many of the ADN nurses I work with wish they had done the BSN route in the first place.

  9. Cool PRN Job ideas

    When I lived in LA, I worked as a "set nurse" on photo-shoots/ movie productions etc. Super super easy & fun! Kinda hard to do that elsewhere though...unless you live in LA or possibly NYC? I was just there to make sure the infant models (I'm a ...

    And this my friends, is why I stick to NICU. Anyone over the age of 1 month I just cannot handle, lol. But thanks for the chuckle. Best of luck on your next shift.
  11. Need Help Coming up with an Excuse!!

    Wow she came here for advice and you all berated her. I would say try your hardest to reschedule the interview. Maybe you can go right after work or on your next day off? Because you would still need some time to change into professional clothing an...

  14. What are the reasons nurses leave the NICU?

    Thank you all for your input!
  15. What are the reasons nurses leave the NICU?

    If one leaves the NICU and goes to work in an unrelated area of nursing (i.e psych or med/surg) how hard is it to get back into NICU?? I'm assuming "jumping ship" and trying out other specialties looks bad to managers if one was to ultimately decide ...
