I finished the RN phase of my direct entry neonatal NP program last summer. I have a staff RN position in the NICU that starts in March 06. It includes 22 weeks of training (classroom, mentor etc...). I must work a minimum of two years full-time in the NICU before I can complete the neonatal portion of my NP program. Look for a major teaching hospital. That is where I found a NICU new grad training program in CA. Good luck.
