Will refresher course help NICU Nurse

I wish you well- you are doing all that is possible....to think you & I have a good 10-15 years to still work (at least that's how I figure- my husband quit a job at GE in Cincinnati as an aerospace engineer, we put all our money plus indebted ourselves to purchase a family construction company- thinking our children would blossom in a very small town (we have 2 children, one is severly developmentally delayed- doesn't talk, isn't toilet trained, has autistic-like behaviors & has a disorder called cyclical vomiting syndrome which rears its ugly head every 6-8 weeks- sort of like a seizure). We didn't think things through- after 7 years in a very rural area where winters start in October & go through May, I'm ready to leave- thinking of going to Cleveland where I have family...& hope to get a job - my husband would stay until we were bankrupt- things in the housing industry may change, but we have bills to pay.
Honestly- if i could get the money- I feel like I have a better chance getting a peds/NICU job if I went back to a 2 year program!!!
Keep me posted on your search.
By the way, I intereacted with a few NICU nurses from Dayton when I was in cincinnati , as I worked on a Birth to Three Program & Cincinnati Children's Developmental Clinic (back then it was called CCDD)-

Well, now you know something that you didn't know before, Babylover.
But, don't take it personally. You could persist in finding out what went
wrong. But, the more contacts you have the better. Back to the drawing board.
Another idea is to volunteer with an agency that might involve a NICU.
March of Dimes? Churches...afgans for tykes? Laleche (?) League, Lamaze (?)
instructor. Liaison Outreach nurse for somebody or other non-profit? Premie specialty stuff. Maybe even working business/product nurse rep?Part time Home Care? Public Health Outreach? Any insider at the NICU at all? Informational interview or causal encounter. Something that might give you an idea of what and who is going on related to the field. Contacts, skills and knowledge. Volunteering helps you get your confidence up and they always love to see you! Even volunteer at the hospital you want to get into! Which gets you in the nurse identity role again with something recent to talk about. Anyway, don't lose hope. Someone said something about getting back to yourself....but, really it is getting forward to the next you. It may be something new, related, or the next level up . Or may not be exactly what you have done before. Do not take it personally. You have your own new niche to discover. A professional career coach might have ideas too...usually free at your state employment office. Keep your head up. There is a door for YOU!
