NYPextern-

I myself have been applying to the NICU at Mount SInai, are you a new graduate? Did you apply online or walk in? I've been calling the nursing recruitment office every week. I just wanted to know if you had any inside tips.

Bortaz, RN - Thank you so much for sharing your spreadsheet with all of us. I love when nurses with experience are so helpful to us newbies! I just accepted a New grad position today in the NICU and I start in Jan! I am so excited and want to prepare myself as much as possible. Again, thanks! Much appreciated!

You're welcome. Just 2 short years ago, I was in your position, so I try to help where I can.

Nope, in California

About 18 months ago, when I was a new grad just starting in the NICU, I found that I needed a more structured and organized brainsheet in order to make sure I didn't miss anything. So, I created my own sheet. I don't know if it translates well to your unit, but I find it very helpful.

Unfortunately, it's an Excel worksheet, and an.com doesn't allow them to be attached, even in private messages. If you'd feel comfortable sending me your email in a PM, I'd be happy to send the form to you.

i know im reading this message way later than when it was posted, but would you be able to send that sheet over my way?? if you still have it, that is. :) much thanks!!! [email protected]

I'll do it when I get home in the morning. If you don't get it, I probably forgot. Just remind me.

Would it be possible to send the NICU worksheet to me too? I am starting NICU in Dec and would really appreciate it!:)

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm about to sit my final exam and start at a NICU in New Zealand in January. Can you please email me your excel spread sheet? It's great to have an online community like this to share experience!
