I’ve been a nurse for 8 years working in critical care with the last 3 years as a rapid response nurse. I absolutely loved my job but wanted to experience something new and see how it is working in a higher level trauma center. I just received offers to work in the NICU at a children’s hospital and another as a clinical supervisor on a progressive care unit. Two very good jobs but completely different…one job will be working with a pt population that I know while the other is completely different than what I’m used to ? To top it off I know how rare both opportunities are. Please correct me if I’m wrong but as far as I knew NICUs don’t typically hire people without neonatal/pediatric background and most adult units usually higher leadership from within for continuity. Without looking at the difference in pay I love both jobs equally and having a hard time making a decision. Should I venture out and work in an area with a pt population that I’m not familiar with? Do I stick with what I know and take the opportunity to make a difference and become leadership? I’m not really asking for anyone to make my decision for me (even though it may seem that way LOL) but to get some insight and different opinions.

My goddaughter worked and Sephora and she always warned me about going in for any help...on rare occasions will you get anyone who knows enough about the products and color matching to get any really help. Move tried all the primers and moisturizers to help keep my makeup on my face as opposed to my sleeve (when wiping sweat off my forward lol) or a mask and I keep reverting back to my usually makeup routine. I found that primers really didn't help me much. What did help was finding a really good cleansing and prep routine. I used to use obagi for years for cystic acne but found it made my skin look blotchy. Once I switched to paulas choice my skin has been more even with less breakouts...I've even been able to cut back on how much makeup I've had to apply! When I did use primers I found benefit worked best on me. I've also tried out a bunch of different foundations to see which ones would last a full 12-14 hr shift. My favorites were Mac prolongwear waterproof foundation and kat Von d lock it. Mac was easy to apply but would fade a bit towards the end of my shift. Kat Von d (my holy grail so far) is thicker and a bit harder to apply...it dries fast so you gotta work quick or else it looks patchy. I get some transfer onto a mask with both but not as much with kat Von d. Sorry for the rant and hope this helps. í ½í¸‰
