1. Unpaid Wages

   may1787 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I started working for my company in 6/2022. At the time, I was verbally told (and it states in the union contract) that I would be paid an extra $1/hr for my certification and that all I needed to do was bring my certification to HR during sign-on. I...

2. How to become NICU nurse

   may1787 replied to nur_journey's topic in NICU

   I did a NICU capstone in college, did a nurse externship during college, and was hired into an internship. I don't think going into L&D will help you, but nursery work in postpartum might. Pediatrics *might* but its difficult to say because...

3. How did you land your first NICU job?

   may1787 replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in NICU

   I did some NICU courses during college, I did my college final clinicals in the NICU, I was a nurse extern in the NICU, I did the NICU internship, and I was a full fledged NICU nurse. Overall, I just did everything NICU I could.

4. Reasonable Accommodations

   may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

   I was responding to some really rude commentary that was deleted before anyone else saw it. It was completely uncalled for but I received emails of them despite them being deleted/edited so you don’t really know what was said to me. “Goodness.”

5. Reasonable Accommodations

   may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

   I ended up getting input from other individuals who work NICU (on another website) who have asked and received reasonable accommodations. All I have asked is considered reasonable and has reasoning according to the ADA and JAN (feel free to go to tho...

6. Reasonable Accommodations

   We have different issues then. I have more issues with level 3/4 than with level 1/2. That’s the thing about disability, it’s not black and white and everyone is unique.

7. Reasonable Accommodations

   may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

   Thank you so much Nursenate5! I was beginning to wonder if returning was for me, since my experience just on this thread felt very much like one of the things that lead to my burnout.

8. Reasonable Accommodations

   may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

   By negative I mean constantly saying I can’t have those accommodations when they don’t really know. I understand they are opinions coming from people without knowledge, I guess I wasn’t expected people without knowledge only coming here to break down...

9. Reasonable Accommodations

   may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

   I guess I wasn’t expecting negative and snarky comments. I was able to find my answers through this, however, so I guess it worked.

10. Reasonable Accommodations

    may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

    @Rose_Queen I understand that. I don’t think there should be any issue since the position isn’t rotational and nor is it a level 3/4, however I can request those as accommodations in future if they suddenly decide to change the position requirem...

    may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

    And my point is that I wouldn’t come in with a list. I would follow ADA recommendations and approach HR after hire.

    may1787 posted a topic in NICU

    Has anyone done the Neonatal Touch and Massage course, particularly the online hands-on session that they instated during COVID? What was your experience like? Was it worth the $800? Did they send you a box of supplies, and if so how long did it take...

13. Neonatal Developmental Care Specialist

    may1787 posted a topic in NICU

    Has anyone gone to get their Neonatal Developmental Care Specialist Certification through NANN? What was your experience like? Did you have to study from the book or do you think you could have passed it without the book? Did you have the book with y...

14. Reasonable Accommodations

    may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

    I think you are misunderstanding. All of the things I listed are considered reasonable accommodations under the ADA. They are even listed on their website. Of course, one wouldn't expect to be hired to a rotational position and then expect not ...

15. Reasonable Accommodations

    may1787 replied to may1787's topic in NICU

    What do people think of these as reasonable accommodations to request? -Have a support person for all meetings with a supervisor (not including charge RN) -provide frequent positive reinforcement and constructive feedback -provide...
