So for 4 years I have been wanting to become a NICU nurse. My reasoning for wanting to be this type of nurse is because I don't have to work with dirty older patients, I feel like I would be able to get to know my patients family (so it's more personal/ meaningful), I enjoy babies, and I have had my heart set on the NICU before I even started my nursing classes.
Now I know it's not all rainbows and butterfly's, (Because no job as a nurse is) so what should be the average expectations as a NICU nurse? What are the frustrations, annoyances, & etc. THANKS.
