The Best NICU in America 2002 Children’s Hospital Columbus, Ohio
AFTER READING CHARLES RAIT’S EDITORIAL IN THE February issue of Neonatal Network,® I was prompted to write about my experience in the best NICU in America. I have been an NlCU nurse since 1975 and have worked as staff nurse, assistant manager, and clinical leader in various Level II and Level III NICUs in New York and Connecticut. In September 2000, my family and I relocated to Columbus, Ohio. In April 2001 I started working as the NICU Case Manager/Clinical Nurse Specialist in the regional Level III NICU at Columbus Children’s Hospital (CCH). The aura of excellence was apparent from the very first interview and throughout my orientation. Although I was an NICU nurse for 25 plus years, I had to attend a comprehensive NICU course. This course not only refreshed my knowledge, and skills, but oriented me to the Midwest and Children’s way of doing things. Columbus Children’s was eager for me to learn their ways and at the same time was anxious to learn about the way NICU care was managed on the East Coast.
