Do you work for a NICU in Texas???

I don't work for one, but I can just tell you what I hear. Great NICUs in Dallas area:Baylor (BUMC), Children's Medical Center, Presby in Dallas & Plano Medical Center. I have never heard anything but good stuff about these.

I am an extern in the NICU at Methodist Children's Hospital in San Antonio. So far I really like it (I have only worked there a month). The RNs I have spoken with seem to enjoy it.

It's a 78 bed unit

I am not personally a nurse yet, but I have a few friends that work for the NICU at Baylor Dallas and LOVE IT!! One just finished her NP License (getting ready to take boards this month) so an opening is coming soon!!

I can't say she necessarily "enjoyed" it. It was a lot of work, but she has said that it was all worth it.

I work In a NICU in houston SJMC. we have a great internship, and competitive pay. I have worked here for almost 5 years, and havent left because the people here are like family to me now. I LOVE MY JOB!!

I work in the NICU at Parkland in Dallas. It is a level III unit with a capacity near 100 beds. We offer a wonderful NICU residency program for new grad nurses which lasts about 18 weeks and involves both didactic and clinical timein order to truly prepare you for practice. The staff that works in our unit are like a huge family, in fact, one of the reasons I choose to stay there is that I love my coworkers, I love the challenging types of babies that we get and the opportunities to increase my knowledge as well as the opportunity to help new nurses move up the ladder by mentoring them. The pay is quite comparable to other hospitals...in fact more than most of the others and the benefits are good. if you have anyy other questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
