I'm currently in an ASN program in FL and have a couple questions. Is it going to be practically impossible to build experience with just my ASN in the NICU, as in, will any NICU ever take me with only an ASN? Since I probably won't be able to get in NICU as a first job, where do RN's work first to get experience for NICU? What can I do in school to increase my chances of getting a NICU job? Have any of you started out in NICU fresh out of school? I get worried because this seems to be a popular specialty and it discourages me since NICU nurses don't tend to leave plus the abundance of new grads having trouble finding jobs.
Thanks so much.
