Hello! I've been a nurse for over 3 years with most of my career spent in a Level IV NICU. I have also done a year of school nursing (while still doing PRN NICU) to better match my family's schedule but found that I hated it. I have attended many high risks births as a NICU nurse and I am interested in switching specialties to L&D. Has anyone else made this transition? What were the challenges? Any current L&D nurses who didn't switch have any input?

I am looking into applying for the fall so I'd love to follow this. how was your process?

Hello! I just applied today for the August 12th start date. The enrollment specialist said she sees no reason why I won’t be accepted and it won’t take very long to know. Hopefully, I’ll be joining you all. If there’s a Facebook group, I’d love to join once I’m accepted.

Thank you! Those are the things I had been looking for but I had a couple of teachers send the kids right back and say that they felt like it wasn't just allergies. Thankfully, I have administration that trusts my judgement and allows me to make the final call.

Hello, I'm fairly new to school nursing (just switched out of the hospital at the end of last semester) so there are some things I'm still learning to judge appropriately. Several of our students have confirmed cases of both bacterial and viral pink eye. The pollen here in Texas also recently started raging and allergy season is in full effect but teachers are concerned that every student with itchy, watery, and/or pink eyes are actually infected and filling my clinic with these students. How do you tell the difference?

did anyone apply to children's national?

has anyone accepted their job offers for nicu?

what did you interview for?

hey! here's our thread https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/memorial-hermann-spring-1073566.html

Same! I was told more than likely it will be Friday!

NICU! I actually think it was the only unit with two interviews lol

I also had a second interview! No calls yet!

It was definitely intense but Match Day felt like it went well! I pray that it actually went as well as it felt haha

Thank you! It was an email. She responded to the email I sent in response to the "what unit and what's your GPA" question (in the original behavioral assessment email) with the invitation to Match Day.

I spoke to TMC/Children's. I still haven't heard from Katy. I'm not entirely sure how the first and second choice thing works. I have now received an invitation to Match Day for TMC/Children's but it didn't mention anything about Katy. í ¾í´”
