I told the interviewers that all through school I LOVED ICU... I was all about it. But when I got to neonatal ICU something just clicked and I knew NICU was for me :)

You did the right thing. You advocated for your patient and got him the medication/care that he needed and deserved. Great job! :D

Thank you for your advice. I know several girls who have either been fired or quit that still come to get their hair done by other stylists there and my ex-boss is rude and nasty to them every time...
