I am currently a NICU nurse in Houston, TX in a level IV unit with 1.5 years of experience here and 1.5 years of experience before that in the level II unit. My partner and I are relocating to Palo Alto and I really want to work for LPCH but I'm finding it hard to get my foot in the door. My application has been under review for almost 2 months and I can't find any HR contact information to follow up at all. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or experience applying to this hospital? Thanks so much in advance!

Would you mind saying which hospital this is? I will be a new grad within the year and am looking to go straight into the NICU.

Hi! I am an upcoming senior in nursing school with a passion for the NICU. I am really looking to get a job right out of school in this area and was wondering if any of you had advice for how to boost my resume, or any hospitals that would be more inclined to hire a new grad. I am willing to relocate anywhere but somewhere in the northeast is preferred. I was also wondering how soon to start applying? I am aiming to get my partnership in the NICU but that isn't until Spring Semester and that feels late to start applying to jobs. I am currently a CNA working as a student nurse intern in the ICU in a smaller hospital, and have also worked as a CNA in a rehab facility and on a cardiac telemetry floor in a hospital. I also have been a nanny and worked at a daycare but I'm not sure how relevant that is. I have done a job shadow in the NICU where I want the partnership and also one in OB. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
