Has anyone transferred to Motherbaby from NICU and gained a better job satisfaction? I started in a level III NICU a few months ago in what I thought would be my dream job, I have found it to be highly stressful and anxiety driven amongst other thing...

Hi Nicugal, to answer your question no I'm not simply waiting for someone to notice me floundering. If I have a question or an issue arises I will most definitely seek help and get some answers. However, if you fully read my post I was explaining tha...

Congrats niculove, I am also starting in a NICU on August 12th. I am coming from a year and a half of med-surg, can't wait! Woohooo!!! Wishing you all the best

No suggestions here simply wanted to congratulate you on your new position! I am also hoping and praying for a mother/baby position I recently applied for. Wishing you all the best, and be sure to visit us here soon to let us know how it's going.

AN is a great place to vent after having a long and stressful day be it work, school, co-workers u name it, these people are there for you! I truly believe it's a Godsend and has also sent good vibes my way because every post or thread that I've been...

Hello AN family, I was offered a RN NICU position in a level III Children's Hospital yesterday. I am so grateful and excited to finally have this opportunity. To all of those that are desiring a position in NICU, please don't give up, persistence and...

God said that your timing is now! Congratulations!!! I am also patiently awaiting 2 different positions, 1 in NICU and 1 in CVICU in our local children's hospital as well....I pray that I get it.

Thanks irish nurse for the info and along with everyone else, I will keep it all in mind on my NICU journey. While in school, I'd always thought for sure OB/L&D was where I wanted to be, that was only until my third day while precepting in L&...

Wow....I couldn't have said it better! I have been explaining this very same thing to a few people starting NS this fall. To go ahead now and be ahead of the game by getting a job as a tech, Nurse aid, CNA, something to help you stand out above the r...

Congratulations on your transfer today into PICU, I too am trying my best to get a position at our Children's Hospital (although my heart is in NICU), but times are very hard for new grads at the moment. However, I am still keeping the FAITH that I w...

I am a new RN and have been at a LTC facility for 2 weeks now and I was given a 6 week orientation...

Hello NICU nurses, I'm a new grad, (May 2011) and am having such a hard time landing a NICU job fresh out of school. So, I applied at the last place on earth I thought I'd ever considered working, in a LTC nursing home facility and I actually got the...

Thank you all dearly for the replies......I started at the LTC facility today and so far so good, but as I look at those residents, I can't help but think about the little babies I wish to care for instead. I will definitely look into some volunteer ...

Congratulations to us all! PVT works also. I checked yesterday before I got home from taking NCLEX, and it would not allow me to register again, I got the good pop up. When I got up this morning, I saw my name on state BON site. What a wonderful feel...

May God bless us is all I can say at this point....I take mine tomorrow as well @ 11am, oh so nervous! As long as we have done our part in studying and reviewing and PRAYING, there's no way that if you have asked this of God, he won't deliver.....and...

Hi ALL NURSES family, I too am planning on scheduling mine sometime in early June (Haven't received my ATT just yet). However, a part of me wants to schedule the earliest date possible, and the other part wants to wait and try to gain as much knowled...

Hi love-nursing, I just stumbled upon this post, I was wondering how your interview went and if you got the job. I also received a call from the local Children's Hospital this morning for an interview on Monday. I am so nervous to say the least. I do...

Me 3 and CONGRATULATIONS! I wonder if we had the same final exam, mine was absolutely horrible..... pinning: 5/06 and graduation was 5/07. Now let's prepare for the other beast.....NCLEX!

When I started nursing school in August 09, I had just recently found out that we were pregnant after a whole year of trying. The saying is most definitely true, that when you stop paying attention that's when it happens. I had totally given up and w...

Hi there, I just recently completed my preceptorship in L&D, and everything each person has posted is true and dead on. Judging from my experience, the best thing to do during a high stress time is to stand back and observe, watch everything that...

Hi SFC Jimenez, what exactly is the process for joining AMEDD? I am currently going into my last semester of nursing school and am wondering of the steps I should be taking. Any info would be greatly appreciated......
