Hi! I am currently a med surg tele RN and would love to transition into the nicu! I've been a nurse for 1.5 years and I feel burnt out already. I dread going into work and am just completely over dealing with my ungrateful, angry, confused, combative patients. It's emotionally draining on me. I feel so depressed all the time. As such, I have been applying to countless transition/new grad nicu programs and they always reject my application. Can someone please help? What am I doing wrong? Side note: I have my nrp certificate and I've tried countless times to apply to the nicu at my hospital but they keep telling me they need someone with nicu experience but to keep trying because some of their senior nurses may be retiring soon (it's been a year and a half now of this) ?
