My manager routinely sends out reminder emails that we are to come to work while sick unless we have actively vomited or have a fever within hours of a shift. I had a fever one time and I called in. I got called by my charge nurse and PCC multiple ti...

Hello all, I've been in working in a level 4 NICU in a children's hospital for 2 years now and I'm trying to update my resume work experience, but I feel like I'm either writing a novel or not including enough information. I just don't know what's ...

My NICU is in a regional children's hospital, but basically any neonate in a 150 mile radius needing surgery comes to my hospital. We have two level 3 NICUs in town (one preforming surgeries--only exlaps for NEC and g-tube insertions) and the rest a...

Thanks, that's very helpful! Do you think I should leave in that I deal with surgical patients because only two of the six NICUs in town have surgical patients so I feel like that might be a good thing to include, or should I just include that in my...

Hello, I've been looking over the registry requirements for children's nursing and it appears that because I have a general nursing degree (as that's all we have here in the US) I can't sit for the children's nursing exam? Does this mean that I'd h...

I'm a US nurse with a bachelor's degree in nursing. I'm interested in relocating to the UK, but in order to do so I would need some kind of visa as I am American and have lived in the US my entire life. According to the NMC, because I only have a ...

Yes, I currently work in a NICU and so ideally that's what I'd like to continue doing.

I didn't even think about the drug differences and I really should have! I recently visited the UK and had a bit of a shock when I tried to find my usual anti motion sickness medicine and discovered it wasn't available in the UK, and the medicine th...

I've been a RN for about a year now, I've been working in a level 3 NICU the entire time. I absolutely adore my job, and I love my little patients. In spite of this, I am interested in leaving the US for the UK in the next one to three years. I wa...

That's very helpful to know! I wasn't sure if NICU would be pediatric or not. Mine is in a children's hospital, but a lot of NICUs are located in "women's hospitals" here. I know there will be quite a few differences, and I'll try to do my best to ...

I just finished all my pre-reqs and took TEAS V and I'm starting to get concerned that I may not have a high enough gpa and TEAS score. I have an overall 3.1 or 3.2 (I'm waiting for my last transcript to arrive) and a 3.68 in my pre-req math and sci...

Thanks! And it's really kind of surreal to have the pre-reqs and TEAS finished because it took so long to get here! I'm kind of leaning more towards fall for financial reasons, but I am going to apply for spring (just to see if I can get accepted &g...
