CVICU and NICU?

Im a new grad RN working in cvicu since January. I am looking to get a prn job since i only work 3 times a week and would like to do something fruitful with my time off (not much of a party person). I do study a few hours a day on my days off, but feel like I have too much time on my hand still. I liked NICU and maternal newborn a lot during nursing school. I am thinking about applying for a prn position in NICU...either that or high risk labor and delivery. My question is: is this a good idea? I would really like to pursue this, but I know that adult icu is different from nicu and l&d. Also, anyone doing both adult icu and nicu or adult icu and high risk l&d? If so, any tips?

    I'm fairly certain you will have a hard time finding a PRN position in either if these areas without any experience. Even if you did the orientation period would likely be rather lengthy and would conflict with your regular job schedule.

    Where I work, we only hire PRN's into NICU or high risk L/D if they are experienced. You have to have NRP, STABLE for both and fetal monitoring for L/D. We don't give a full orientation to PRNs either, usually about 2 weeks just to get our routines and protocols down.
