   NICURNSF replied to Thenewnicunurse's topic in NP Students

   I believe work experience is one of the biggest determining factors. Have you worked in a level IV NICU, had delivery room experience, taken on any leadership roles if you only have a few years experience? Then after experience, I think grades matt...

   NICURNSF replied to AmyS4's topic in School Programs

   I appreciate your honesty but its just not possible for me to wait another year. It looks like you are possibly in the midwifery program? When I interviewed they said everyone in the NNP program (my program) was likely to graduate on-time this year...

9. How to become NICU nurse

   NICURNSF replied to nur_journey's topic in NICU

   I was hired into a NICU New Graduate Program without a ton of NICU experience in nursing school. I applied to any hospital in the country that had a NICU New Graduate training Program and I was willing to move anywhere I got a job. You can also tak...

10. How did you land your first NICU job?

    NICURNSF replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in NICU

    I researched the heck out of which hospitals really had a need for NICU nurses and applied there being willing to move anywhere I got a NICU job. I applied as a new graduate nurse to many many programs. It's really finding the hospitals that have a...

    NICURNSF replied to CFRRN's topic in NICU

    Hi-I think what your cover letter needs to accomplish is you giving a clear and concise reason for why you want NICU so much. Explain how your experience in med/surg has prepared you for the critical thinking and time management required in the NICU...

14. Medsurg to NICU

    NICURNSF replied to RNEABV's topic in NICU

    I'm kind of surprised you haven't had luck because med/surg with NRP is pretty much showing that you have initiative for the NICU and nursing experience. Maybe get STABLE if you can and virtually attend one of the conferences, NANN, ANN? Maybe even...
