Hi, I don't have much advice to give pertaining to day or night shift, but 2 things I can touch on: 1. I can relate to the anxiety and I just wanted to acknowledge that. I'm glad that you are persevering through the pain. 2. I precepted at a level 4 NICU. You need to know many skills and go through a lot of training. You also have to like babies, of course lol. Depending on how much experience you have, you may not be qualified since they often want a few years of experience. I'm not trying to discourage, just a few things you may think about. I didn't love the NICU because of how critical most of the babies were. I work in a children's hospital where the babies come after the NICU, and I really like it there.
