Do you work for a NICU in Texas???

Published

Hello,

I am thinking about working NICU when I finish nursing school. Could anyone please share what are some of the better Level II, III NICUs in Texas. If you work for a NICU please feel free to tell me about your experiences. Any advice would be welcomed

Yes, we use NNP's, in fact we have a couple of nurses who are currently doing their NNP's while they're still working part time, and Parkland is paying for their schooling. On our unit, the NNP's perform very much like our fellow's and resident's....they see patients, do procedures, orders, attend deliveries, etc. We utilize a very open multidisciplinary approach which includes Attending Neonatologists, Fellows, Residents, Interns, Med Students, NNP's, PNP's (in our discharge nursery), RN's, Speech Occupation and Physical Therapists, Child Life Specialists, Chaplains, Social Workers, Respiratory therapists, Dieticians...I'm sure there's someone I've left out, but can't think of any others.

Hope this answers your question.
