How I Got A Job As A NICU Nurse With No Experience 

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 have my ADN and I just graduated...got a job in the NICU without any experience 😊🩺

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

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!

Just had my interview for the NICU.. fingers crossed I get the job!!!

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.

Best notification to get after a day of nursing school seminars 😁😁😁

Thank you for sharing! This was such helpful advice. Shoutout to all the NICU nurses out there! You guys are the best!

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

I had my pen and paper ready for this video! This is my passion 💗 thank you so much for all of this information. You’re a gem!

I'm not a nurse, but I'm an ultrasound technician and definitely could relate to this video. Great vid!!

These are some really good tips and they would help to get a new or inexperienced nurse get into any area they wish to work in.

Thank you for this video! I have my interview this week. Hoping to get the position.

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.

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 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 ❤️

I would love to do cath lab/OR/cardiac icu. Only in first semester but hopefully when the practicum course starts I can get placed there!!

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

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!!

I really love your videos they’re so helpful! I’m a senior in high school and I was wondering if you could discuss what you did after high school.

Everyone wants to work in the NICU 😭😭

Thank you so much for this informative video! It helped me land my first level IV NICU job (prior work exp. was med-surg/tele, oncology). :)

Im thinking about becoming a NICU nurse and your videos are so informative I love them so much 🥰🥰

So many amazing tips and advice 👍🏾👏🏾🤗 and great video as always

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!

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!

I've never considered the NICU but you make me want to give it a try!! I'm three months into a new job in endoscopy and really enjoying it...but I'm always interested in learning more about different areas of nursing. Thank you!

Thank you for this advice it’s so helpful! 💗

Can you make a video on what’s it like working in the NICU? 😊 thanks for the tips

Congratulations on getting to where you wanted to be. I'm considering moving to Houston. Can you tell me what areas I should check out on my visit? Safe housing areas for young professionals, restaurants, lounges, etc.

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?

I hope to be in the NICU one day :3 I love babies, I know its not all sunshine and rainbows but I think I could do it. This video was really helpful.

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.

STARTED WORKING IN NICU AIIMS 👍 SO HAPPY

Is practicum or capstone only for BSN? I'm about to start my ADN in August and I'm not sure if we'll get that opportunity or just clinicals in each area.

I want to do peds but I’m not sure what peds I want to do. Unfortunately we didn’t get to pick where we precept at cause they wanted us to be well rounded 😒

Thanks for this video and I love your hair. 👽♥️♥️♥️

My journey to become a Clinical medical assistant, I’m excited to join the medical field I know it’s not going to be an easy task but I’m up for the challenge and I’m going to try my best. Wishing you all success and happiness with your new job position as as NICU nurse, such as critical job but a great opportunity and people learn so much. #Blessed 🤍

Def needed this. My dream is to be a NICU nurse & everyone always shuts it down by saying “yeah, it’s hard to get it & they def won’t take new grads” 🥺 so thank you for this!

Can you share what website you did the courses at?

I have an interview with pediatrics after hours any advice ?

I love baby’s and my mom Is a babysitter which might be why I love kids/ baby’s but I want to be a travel nicu Nurse!

My healthcare experience is primarily in adults and the elderly population. Is it appropriate to list my experience as a kids club attendant, mother’s helper, and nanny? My resume at the moment consists of my education, healthcare experience, and certifications/skills. I wasn’t sure if those previous jobs would make a difference really :(

I want to be apart of nicu like NICU nurse ,NICU tech ,NICU cna or something like that like can you tell me what each position does like go into deep explantion

Thank you !!:)

If you have a ADN are you still able to work in the NICU? Thank you I love your videos!!!

Hi, can a person have an associate degree work as a Labor & Delivery RN?

I noticed in a recent video that you are using a different stethoscope, did you have to get a different one for the NICU?

Can I ask what University did you to?

You look Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your lips look so pretty and smooth, drop a vid girl...Mine look similar, I use vaseline, ESPECIALLY at night:)))

I’m doing a nurse externship as a nursing student and will hopefully be hired once I graduate into the MICU! It’s looking good so far! Thanks for the tips! All ICU positions are so hard to get into with no experience or as a new grad. 😩😭

If you make it so complicate Nicole. Other nurses will take over your job employer ok!👂leave NICU to nurse midwive!

I....AM.....EARLY!!!!!

Can you take certification classes as soon as you pass NCLEX?

Today I was floated to the IcU...

Get my resume from nurse black midwife beebee. So, she'll hire you for my position. She's the office supervisor now Nicole!👂

Amour. yesterday 29. Your husband's were singles. We were just met. You wasn't tell me oui. You are mine okay!🎉❤

I am debating on going back to nursing school. This would be my final attempt. I’m nervous and I haven’t made a move yet. I’ve been out of school for a year and 3 months now. :/

🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️

🥰💕💞💕💞💕💞

You decide for me Nicole. I don't like to decide on staffs our story wasn't created. You know better on that story then me dear. Go a head if you still serious. Is you talking about asset? Ok,we can't promise nothing to you now like assets. Cuz you aunt worked only for her pather= child= papa Icon. Not even for us ever here too. Will you do the same for us not be able to take care of you. Like she done to herselve? Let's us know before we move forward hanny?👂👂🤔. 😮

Is being a male nurse "weird"?

Where did you purchase your NRP certification? Did you also have to do an in person course? I'm really trying to get my NRP certification before applying to my dream NICU position but am having a hard time finding where to get it done! I really want this job 🤍
