  • First video of 2023! In this video I share the differences between the neonatal ICU vs the pediatric ICU and help share the differences the NICU world vs the PICU world. Hopefully it helps those out there choose what unit to work in and whether or not its neonatal vs pediatrics.

    There are just so many choices in nursing it's overwhelming. I feel like I could like nicu, labour and delivery, peds. But can't choose one

      If you plan on becoming a doctor nurse become any type of ICU nurse to get into med school

    Always love your videos! It’s so insightful to see the differences between nursing specialties. I’ve been thinking about all the differences between adult ICU and NICU. I’ve been in adult ICU 4yrs and transitioning to nicu 😅I’m so scared but so ready to learn!

      It is definitely a different world for sure but can’t imagine doing anything else 🤗

      Well, I've taken the exams for the 2nd time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it. 😭💔

      Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't
      take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet"; you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.

      I failed twice, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that l've not lost hope.

    What topic would you like me to cover in a video? Give this video a 👍🏻 if you enjoyed it 🤗

    Originally I had no interest in working in nicu, picu or any other specialty like that.
    But because I worked with special needs for over 7 years and I've always been told I do very well with babies and children. I'm actually considering it.

    Hospitals labelling a baby dirty for leaving is crazy sounding 😂 just curious for the rules around how they would accept a “dirty” one year old?! Not hating at all I’m just genuinely curious

    I’m a peds nurse and I have to have moms give meds and document why teenagers don’t want to take their meds almost every day 😆

    • @monicabellsloan799
      @monicabellsloan799 Před 7 měsíci

      Yes! I worked with kids and teens in a school-setting, so I can only imagine that you'd have parents involved with kids/teens often!

    Aspiring NICU nurse here- how in the world were they floating you to PICU? That would terrify me as a NICU nurse. Were you cross trained?

    • @TiffanyRNnicunursetiff
      @TiffanyRNnicunursetiff  Před rokem +10

      Nope not trained. It became a huge issue that our unit had to fight that if NICU nurses floated that we would only get kids less than 1 year. I don’t think that got implemented until after I left that hospital

    NIcU is NOT easy. The babies have multi organ problems and need multiple round the clock care. If you are someone who needs sleep don’t do it.

    What’s the difference between picu and NICU

    • @Haileyjane2004
      @Haileyjane2004 Před 13 dny

      In a PICU, the focus is on caring for seriously or critically ill children from infancy through the teenage years. A NICU specifically cares for newborns in the first weeks and months of life, with an emphasis on premature babies and those with low birth weights or complex medical conditions present from birth.
