  1. Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children

    Has anyone here worked in the NICU at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children? I have an interview with them coming up, and I'm wondering what the work environment in the NICU is like? I have two years of Level III/IV experience and am going to be reloc...
  2. Out of these 4 drug handbooks, which one should I get?

    Davis by far! A friend had recommended Pearson, but when I went to B&N and flipped through Davis, it was the clear winner. The CD-ROM was also great for copying/pasting drug info onto my care-plans.. saved a lot of time!
  3. Possible transfer to NICU

    Congrats!! :)
  4. New Graduate Nurse in the NICU :)

    Congrats! I'm also starting as a new grad on August 6th :) I'm so excited to get started.. my orientation will be 5 months. We really need to revive the new grad support thread since there's quite a few of us who have either started this summer or wi...
  5. Any new grad RNs in NICU?

    I heard back two days after my interview that I got the job. If the nurse manager said she would make a decision after July 4, I would think that you should hear back within the next week. I think it would be okay to contact HR on Monday to follow up...

  13. New Grad just hired into NICU!!

    YES! It's definitely time to retire the shoes that I've worn to clinicals these past two years... time for *big girl* shoes!!
  14. I just want to add that there are several resume templates that I have used on both Microsoft Word and Pages (Apple) that can be customized for a more professional appearance. I also submit my resume as a .pdf file, so that it is viewed as a nice,...
  15. New Grad just hired into NICU!!

    Thanks everyone! No, unfortunately my school didn't offer preceptorships. I joined both NANN and AWHONN last year and volunteered at a crisis pregnancy center over winter break, which helped boost my resume. I was out of town visiting my family when...
  16. Studied for 6 days, passed NCLEX-RN in 75 questions

  21. Rejection letter - what now?

    LSU is definitely a great alternative option to SLU. I just graduated this month with my BSN from SLU, but there are still components of LSU's program that I wish SLU had. Aside from that, I'm still very happy with my education and experience. I have...
  22. Labor and Delivery Interview. Help!

    I had a peer interview this week for L&D. I was actually told I would be interviewing with the managers, but when I walked in, it was a surprise peer interview. They actually did not ask me as many questions as I thought they would. I got questio...

    Thanks! I don't have the job yet, just an interview! I'm hoping it will lead to a job though! It has been so hard to even get an interview in my area, so this is definitely giving me some hope! Which area will you be going to grad school for? That'...
