Thank you so much for the suggestion! I'll look around at other posts as well!

Hi everyone! After 8 months of being a cardiac tele nurse, this was my first week orienting to our hospital's level 3 NICU! I'm really loving it so far, but I'm having some trouble keeping straight all of the normal values and practices, and even though I only graduated nursing school a year ago, I feel like I don't always understand what the other NICU nurses are talking about. I'm so determined to do well in this job, as being a NICU nurse has always been my life's dream, and I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on a good resource book I could purchase that I could read outside of work to get a greater understanding of being a NICU nurse? Or just any resource that you've found helpful in your career as a NICU nurse! Thank you so much!

I don't think anyone really cares, but I got offered the job and will start transitioning into the NICU soon! I'm very excited and had to share it somewhere!

Thank you for your response! I have the interview today so I'm crossing my fingers!

I'm happy to say that after just over six months of nursing on a unit that I haven't enjoyed, I have an interview for a NICU position this coming week! I know I'm a newer nurse, but my dream is to work in a NICU, and right out of school there weren't any opportunities so I took a med-surg position and have found myself disliking almost every moment I'm at work. I'm hoping that working in an area I'm passionate about will help me remember why I went to nursing school in the first place. Does anyone have any tips for a NICU interview? I really want to ace this so I can get this job, and I'm pretty nervous for the interview! Thank you so much!
