New Grad in the NICU? - Page 2

Keep your head up! If you are willing to re-locate that could help you find a job in the NICU. I am re-locating 1200 miles away for my dream position in a level 3 NICU in a very respected Children's Hospital. Some hospitals regularly hire new grad to the NICU but others want experience.

Hello new grad! I enjoyed working in a great neonatal intensive care unit for several years. Now I'm retired. At my hospital, the preferred path in order to be considered for work in NICU was to start by working in the normal newborn nursery---not as exciting as NICU, however great further learning about how to quickly recognize serious complications in newborns. Best wishes in your plans!

All depends on the hospital, I was extremely fortunate enough to get a NICU job before I graduated, did my preceptorship and LOVED IT! Truly the best kind of nursing! I mean these hands, you mean Gods hands, ya these!
