I graduated a couple of weeks ago and I begin my 1st role as Level IV NICU Nurse in a level I pediatric trauma hospital. You can’t tell me NOTHING! 😂 Sike, but NICU has been a passion since my I birthed my own NICU baby 24 years ago. This will be my 2nd career. Followed my interest the 1st time and although successful, I’m following my ❤this time around. SO glad to have found your channel! Next stop is NNP but for now it’s becoming the best NICU RN that I can possibly be. Looking forward to more videos, maybe some on NICU nursing as well? That would be great but whatever you post that’s neonatal related, I’m sure to watch. Congrats and good luck on your journey!

Can a working nurse from a different specialty sign up to shadow NICU or is it for students only? And how do you find NICU nurses to shadow in Houston?
