The last few minutes of the video are so true. I called the hospital operator and asked to be transferred to the NICU, then from there I asked to speak directly to the unit hiring manager. My application was pulled before the end of the day and I ended up getting the job!

I was just hired as a NICU nurse & i graduate in 2 days with my ADN! One of the hospitals I applied for had a job fair, I passed all the other department managers and went straight to what I wanted. I sold myself and it worked. She took down my name in her personal notes and said she was going to pull my resume. She did just that and we did a phone interview and made an offer! She said my cover letter stood out because all the others were so standard & boring. I made mine specific and it showed how much passion I have about working in the nicu. Plus I knew exactly what I wanted at that job fair. I wasn’t just looking through all the departments for any job. I talked to her and I left. I had the attitude of if it’s not nicu I don’t want it.

Do you think you could do a video on your resume? I never know where to put things to make myself stand out

I literally volunteered at a children’s hospital for a year & when i was finally eligible to become a “baby hugger” what we call the volunteers in the NICU, Covid happened... I was so pissed cuz that was the whole reason I became a volunteer 😂 &I’ll be a nurse before they open the volunteer program back up, just my luck.

I’m a new grad NICU nurse and I was an extern on an antepartum floor for a year then I reached out to the NICU manager asking for a change in position to extern on their unit. I was really persistent and finally interviewed with her and she hired me on the spot!

I was watching this video and while watching it got a callback for a nicu position ♥️🙏🏽

My son has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I love watching you and I’m currently going back to college to be a nurse! 🤍

I graduate in May and I just accepted a position in the NICU. I am so excited!! Is there any tips, websites, or books that you recommend for NICU knowledge?

[Merscouponcorner]

Love this!! I am doing my practicum in NICU right now and starting a new grad position in the NICU in July 💘 it is the best! Definitely recommend trying to get a practicum in the NICU as well as volunteering. I work as a unit secretary in the NICU I will be starting at as a nurse and that is such a great way to get your foot in the door!!

This is exciting! I've been following your journey since YOU were in school. Now I'm following you and will be joining the NICU team shortly (after my term in med-surge). I'm excited that I'll get to watch your tips and tricks for my new career path!

I got a interview in 2 hours for a Nicu residency. Been trying to get into Nicu for the past 4 months ( graduated in December). It’s competitive!

Right now I’m in school for my cna and then I’m going to start at the hospital and then I’m going to go to nursing school for my rn but I’m going for my MSN and also go to nurse practitioner school. My dream job is to be a NNP.

I’m glad to hear you are liking the NICU! I was able to get a position in a level 3 NICU before I graduated from college due to connections and experience I gained from my last clinical! I’ve been working on the unit for 5 months now and I love working with the babies!

[niagay]

i literally just came on here to comment and say that you are an absolute soldier! it takes a certain kind of strength to emotionally stomach a level 3 NICU. i can't imagine a level 4. i think i may be able to do 2 but probably not more. the world needs people like you ❤️

[MurseTobe]

I can definitely relate to this video! Been a struggle getting into the ICU in my hometown without experience :(

[tiaremalu]

Hey girl! What college did you go to? To become a Nurse?

[selleisa]

I just got my capstone placement in the NICU! Came straight back to this video haha. Love your channel! I was initially team L&D but I’m excited for this challenge, I think L&D might after all be a bit routine for me.
