1. Low Census

   pattyjake64 replied to NicuRN73's topic in NICU

   I'm here in the Los Angeles area, but a co-worker (from Michigan) told me her big unit there was laying off NICU RNs! Couldn't believe it! Economy???

2. Low census anyone?

   Los Angeles area, Level III NICU, 03/20/10: We've been slow since 11/09, have been getting slower since then. Registries offer little help (rarely get calls for NICU RNs). It's really scary right now. Better luck to the rest of you!

   Level III NICU, Los Angeles area...we slowed down in Nov '09 and have been getting slower since. At first, we thought it was due to changes made in contracts with our hospital. Now, we're thinking it's the economy and fewer ppl having babies/possibly...
