I current work in the TICU. I really want to work in the PICU; however, they didn't haven't any openings when I was applying. I've always wanted to work Peds!! I don't hate my job. Its ok. The teamwork is great and my coworkers are always there if I ...

Yes. I'm looking for a PRN job at Children's.

I agree the immaturity is appalling. I won't be responding to it. Thanks to you and everyone else who had kind words and encouragement!

Yes, unsubscribe.... A few ppl need to do that! Lol

Thanks.

Thank you.

Have you ever worked in the PICU?

I'm not obligated to agree with her. Disagreement is not disrespect. This is nursing. NOT a competition.

Do you know anything about the hiring process in the PICU?

I think they wear Navy Blue and OB wears Black.

You could apply for a license in NY or Arkansas. I don't think there is a 2 year limit like Oklahoma.

What charting system are you using? Maybe you need to find a company with a better system. I've worked home health and there are some really great systems where I usually finish charting before I leave and there are some really sucky systems...

Also that post had nothing to do with my question. Quite like your reply.

Read entire post.. Thanks

Thanks. I know I could use my team manager who was also my preceptor as a reference.

The definition of competence is having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do something successfully. Therefore if I've been deemed competent by the proper authority, then I am competent. I've said what I have said. And I stand by it.

Sounds like you haven't found your niche in nursing. I would do research as to the different types of nursing jobs you can have. I also encourage you shadow some nurses in different specialties even if you think you won't like it. Also be care about ...

What about PRN PACU in a surgery center? Or applying for a PRN PICU position. I've never worked NICU so I'm not sure of your current skill set.

It seems pretty clear that you don't understand what competence is. You have no idea what is required to be deemed competent at my place of employment. Obviously its more than merely "a brief class and a multiple choice test"... You're really reachin...

I have not made up my mind about WHEN I will leave. My question was how long should I wait before I apply. Pediatrics and Adults are completely different so the knowledge you gain in one specialty is not always applicable to the other.. I also said I...

Thanks for your reply. Peds is vastly different from Adults and I don't want to spend too much time training my mind to care of adults just to go back and change my thought process for Peds. Also the children's hospital really needs nurses so I'm won...

Thanks! That really what I'm trying to figure out. Is one year enough experience before applying to PICU?

Apply to another hospital. I could talk to the manager at my current hospital but they don't get really sick kids and I want to work in a higher acuity PICU. I've been at my current place more than 6 months. Also the PICU (whole children's hospital.....

Thanks; however, I never said I was quilting without securing another job.
