1. Why NICU

   endji replied to NewgradPedsRN's topic in NICU

   Hi. I don't have experience in this, but a friend of mine did their preceptorship in the NICU and then accepted a full time position in the ED. They love the ED, and learn so much. Think about it, everything is fair game in the ED. You'll work with n...
