Nurses Career Support

Published

hello everyone, today is my first day joining. I am 17 years old and will be graduating in may. I was thinking of becoming an x-ray technician but now I am thinking of becoming an RN to work in the NICU. If anyone has any suggestions on which one i should do please let me know. I am really interested in working in the NICU. If anyone out there has any information regarding this, please send it to me. I would really like to know all the college classes i would have to take and all the requirements. I would like to find out A.S.A.P. because i would like to know what i wanna do after school. thanks so much, and hope to hear from someone soon.

Specializes in Peds, OB-GYN, CCU, ER, Corrections.

Good Luck!! You might want to check at your local hospitals NICU and ask a couple of the nurses there what their education level is. I work on a peds and ob floor, but we recently nixed our NICU because of funding issues. Everybody loves babies though, so it's a tough field to get into. Make sure you have the education necessary to make them want you. It might help you out when it comes to resume time

Best Wishes!!:nurse:

Welcome to the site! I moved your post to the Nursing Career Advice Forum for more responses.

I'm a NICU nurse and I really love it. You might try doing some hospital volunteer work to get more of an idea of the different roles out there.
