Hi Jamie. My name is Andy and I am currently working as a neonatal research nurse co-ordinator in Liverpool, England. I qualified as an RN back in 1991 and I have worked in a number of fields, mostly with kids (probably cos I've never grown up:clown:). For the last 14 years have been working on level 3 NICU.

I'm up for it!!

i take it you're quoting the BAPM guideline that states NICU's should be staffed by RN (child branch)? Every nurse who starts their career on a NICU has a very steep learning curve what ever branch they are qualified in. It's the support and education that helps and unfortunately not every NICU provides that

if no luck. give me a shout

approach the manager and enjoy.

go to NICU first and speak to manager. if they say yes (ask for a note on headed paper) then go to placement officer in uni. how long have you got left of placement and course?

don't you have a block towards the end of your course where you can choose where to work. the odd time that we have adult branch they come for a 6-8 week period

have you tried bradford?

too long!!!! about 1.5 hours each way i think. what about central manchester? they've just opened a new paeds unit and expanded their NICU

come on over to Liverpool

try speaking to NICU manager's (or education team if units have one) and see when their intake of new staff is. better still ask for an informal interview and take along a CV. i take it you're on RN paeds course?

Hi meg, how did your interview go?

what part of the country do you live in and are you prepared to travel to another part of UK? contact me via private.
