I work on a small general peds unit. Im being forced to float to level ii nicu because according to mgt peds and nicu "are the same thing". I was oriented/trained for 12 hours and deemed competent for level 2 nicu.
I feel totally incompetent and out of my element and have expressed that many times.
Is that safe practice? Are peds and nicu the same? Is it normal practice to float pedi nurses to nicu? Thoughts, opinions, suggestions..

Floating sucks, most nurses are not float nurses. Level 2 NICU isn't that much different from Newborn nursery.
