1. Normal new grad feelings or not feeling NICU?

   Anonymous44 replied to Anonymous44's topic in NICU

   I actually ended up going to a new hospital on their adult medical ICU and I love it! I might come back to NICU or try PICU or L&D another time at another hospital, but for the time being I love how there is less drama and fewer nurse bullies in ...

2. What would you do?

   Anonymous44 replied to Anonymous44's topic in New Nurse

   That’s a good point. I was in Peds and I had some issues with being left out of the communication loop between management and my preceptors and I was consistently not getting what I needed orientation wise despite me advocating for myself. I live in ...

3. What would you do?

   Anonymous44 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi Friends! I am a new grad who was recently released from orientation after an almost mutual decision. I did not officially quit so my status will be ‘terminated’ if I do not accept another position within the network. The only positions available f...

   Anonymous44 replied to wobbles007's topic in General Nursing

   I am also looking at this thread in 2020 haha. I graduated in May and all through nursing school I wanted to do NICU. My last rotation right before COVID was in a CICU and I loved everything about it. I was so torn. I ended up choosing NICU because i...

   Anonymous44 replied to Anonymous44's topic in NICU

   I've been doing level 2 for about 4 months. I guess I just pictured this being a higher acuity than it is and not really what I was looking for. I am not ready to give up on NICU yet. I love attending deliveries but if I were to move to L&D my fo...

8. New Grad considering quitting nursing

   Anonymous44 replied to Jacob's topic in New Nurse

   I'm not quite sure if I am going to be helpful, but I am in the same boat. I just graduated and worked so hard to get here and I am not sure I like it but what else can I do? I am strongly considering switching specialities but I think you need to gi...

   Anonymous44 posted a topic in NICU

   Hi I am a new grad who landed her dream position in a level IV NICU. I had been a volunteer cuddler, and a tech on a busy med surg floor all through nursing school. I had a bunch of great job offers, the one that I accepted in NICU and two in adult I...
