did u buy the book?? if not I can sell u mine

math 1301 was a total joke! I ended up taking 1302 contemporary math and did well! I have math books available if anyone would like to buy them I have both 1301 and 1302

Yea we haven't either but I would think it could benefit them. We also use donor milk if none is available from mom but I think in conjunction with breast milk probiotics could help .... I'm doing research to see if it could help these babies

I currently work in a level Iv nicu and was wondering if any of the NICUs u work out give baby's probiotics...

Our nicu is a level 4 and we usually r 2:1 but if they r feeder/growers and about to be discharged then sometimes a 3:1 but depends on the census and the amount of nurses. If the baby is on a vent it's never a 3:1

As of yesterday NICU has not made calls yet and I know they r hiring 6-8 residents!!!!

I'm finishing up the peds residency in the NICU ...be patient ... It takes a few weeks and I know they r reviewing apps now.... Not sure how many they r taking for nicu but my cohort they took 7 .... Good luck everyone this is the best place to work!

I don't know for sure that the next cohort isn't going to take new grads for nicu I just know they don't take them for every cohort. They didn't take them for the last cohort but took them this time around. They only hire on the basis if they need more staff..... I agree apply for any peds positions ...totally kids hires new grads in the rehab department ....best of luck I know how frustrating it is

I agree .... Nicu managers doesn't want to hear "I just love babies" nicu isn't all rainbows and butterflies ..... It's more of a very challenging unit that is going to really test u emotionally ...also nicu is not just about babies it's about educating the parents and family .... My suggestion is reapply in April I doubt nicu is going to hire this round but apply to a peds position to at least get ur foot in the door ..... It's rough and many people told me to get med surg experience I have zero interest in med surg and focused and didn't give up on my dreams! Best of luck I know how hard it is

Don't give up!!! Can I ask what school u went to???? Do you have any nursing experience???? And did u follow up on ur interview ???? I have 2 years peds experience as an LVN and I believe it really helped me land a position in NICU aso I was extremely persistent with follow ups and contacting HR and nurse managers ... Loma Linda took 4 rcc new grads for NICU which says a lot about my schools reputation. Also get as many certificates as u can NRP PALS it makes u more marketable! Good luck don't give up on ur dreams ?...... Don't forget loma Linda will be doing another residency applications are in April!

I've worked as an lvn for 2 years as a peds nurse. I graduated in June with my RN. I was just hired for a pediatric residency program in a level 3 NICU ...it was my dream job...be persistent and wait for a job u want.... They say if u find a job u love u will never work another day in ur life!!!! Good luck jobs are hard to come by

. Not sure just was told we will be getting an email letting us know..I'm so excited!!!!

Got a spot in nicu!!!! Woohoo

I slaked to the secretary on wed

No I talked to the secretary on wed

Stay positive ...it sucks cuz it's hard to find new graduate positions let alone a peds/nicu position...there is no way I want to work med/surg ...they told me they have until the 27th to make decisions

Any news????

Hear nicu calls are being made...fingers crossed

I think my interview went well ...some of the questions threw me for a loop! Everyone was extremely nice!!! Does everyone that interviewed for nicu have there license???

Ok awesome thank u!!!

I interview Tuesday a dam so anxious and trying to prepare... Did they do any testing ( dosage) or was it just question and answer???

did they tell u guys when they will let people know???

At least most of u have interviewed mine is jan 7 and I'm so stressed out!!! I wish they could take us all ....last cohort they didn't take any for nicu and the cohort before that they took 2!!! So 6 is looking good!!! I hope we get this!!

I interview next Monday for nicu ...I so nervous too!!!! Good luck to u

best of luck to u as well .... stay focused rcc program is a lot of work but one of the best around!
