I was just offered a NICU position on the unit where I recently completed my Practicum! Thank God!

I accepted it, of course. It's the fulfillment of a dream...going right into the NICU as a new grad. It's also a bit frightening!

A million thanks to God, my sweet wife who supported me through school, and all of my friends on AllNurses.com for their steady advice and support.

Time for some PF Chang's or something to celebrate! So good to be employed after so long with no job while in nursing school!

I officially started my career as a NICU RN today. Though it was just general hospital orientation, it was the first step to starting on the NICU, which I am avidly looking forward to. 7 more days of general orientation till I can report to my unit!

How exciting! I am also a little jealous because I have to wait about 2 months to begin my NICU career. Please keep us posted throughout orientation. I wish you all the best!
