   Tons of people in my nursing class got jobs as patient care technicians or nurse techs at hospitals as a part time job. Most of them started out in the summer and then kept the job working part time during the school year. Call HR and inquire if they...

2. Passionate new grad for the NICU! How do I get there!?

   celyseRNBSN replied to TxSunflower's topic in NICU

   I think peds oncology would be the better choice, too. Things don't always happen on the timeline we want them to, unfortunately, but if you know you're passionate about NICU, don't give up on it :) Get some experience, learn your time management and...

3. Nursing Student Considering NICU

   celyseRNBSN replied to Squarestate's topic in NICU

   Good Luck! :) If you need more time in the NICU in order to make your decision, you might see if your local hospital allows volunteers as feeders or "cuddlers." I know that my nursing school only gave us a few short hours for our one and only NICU c...

   celyseRNBSN replied to Squarestate's topic in NICU

   I understand your concerns about "pigeon-holing" yourself, but my opinion is that if you are really serious about pursuing NICU, doing a preceptorship there is the best way to get your foot in the door. NICU is so different from any other area of nur...

5. Did you learn IV in NS?!

6. Cold feet?

   celyseRNBSN replied to seaglassgreen's topic in General Nursing

   To be honest, I didn't really want to go to nursing school either. My mom convinced me that it would be a good fit for me as a career since I was interested in healthcare, but didn't want the commitment of going to med school (Sounds like great reaso...

    celyseRNBSN replied to aghols12's topic in Texas

    Nope. I got the email from the nurse recruiter, too, saying that they were already interviewing. I'm disappointed I didn't even get an interview, but I guess you never know what they were looking for. Oh well! I guess Scott and White is not the place...
