Congrats on your landing your dream job as a new grad!! Yes, all new grads should apply for any NICU clinical placements while in school, and possibly try to get PCT or CNA positions in a NICU unit either befor you go to nursing school or during college would be helpful.. And if not in a NICU, then shoot for a healthy bany nursery position, a mother and baby position, or any other pediatric unit that is possible to try to get hired in to get some similar experience and to help you know you are making tje right decision for you before you take thos difficult position as a NICU nurse, as it is not for everyone. Then once you lamd that NICU job, be prepared to possibly feel very stupid and overwhelmed for at least a good 12 to 18 months! Some hospitals may be incredibly supportive of every new grad, but not all are. But just know that most every new NICU nurse will feel overwhelmed and very stressed out before every shift for a good long time, as it is a very demandimg position. But if it remains your dream, than find some more experienced nurse to hopefully express your feelings to that can be supportive mentor that hopefully works many of the same shifts who will help you find your resove to keep showing up until you will finally find your self comfidence in your newly acquired skill sets now allow you to be more relaxed when starting each shift, eventhough you will always come across babies with issues you know nothong about, but you are now able to calmly learn from others around you every day, so you can be that incredible NICU nurse you envisioned all along!!
