NICU Advice

Hi there!

I'm currently in the process of starting a program to become a CNA with the intention of working while getting my BSN. I ultimately would like to be a NICU RN and was wondering if you nurses could offer advice or tips on what I should focus on throughout my nursing journey. What's the best way to try and reach that goal?

Thanks in advance!

    1. Get your BSN, it will open more doors than an ASN will.

    2. Look for schools that have a Capstone placement/preceptorship and strive for a NICU placement.

    3. Look for a summer NICU externship

    4. Look for a PCA job in a NICU.

    We almost exclusively hire our PCAs that graduated nursing school or our summer externs when they graduate.
