Hi everyone! I'll be graduating with my BSN in May (woo!) and I'm currently in the final stage of the interview process for a residency program with the NICU, PICU, and peds ER. I have ICU experience and love kids, but I have never worked with children in the hospital setting. When I applied for the residency program, I was hoping I would be able to shadow the units to get a better feel for what I preferred, but with strict visitor policies d/t COVID, I am afraid that isn't an option. As of right now, I am attracted to the PICU for its diversity and the chance to learn something new every day as a new grad, but a part of me has always been interested in NICU nursing. I would love to hear from any NICU/PICU/peds ER nurses to hear about why you love what you do, and any additional advice you may have about choosing one of the three departments as a new graduate nurse!
