I have not worked in the NICU, but I took a specialized class about it when I was in school. It is a setting that requires a high level of expertise since the babies are literally on the verge of death. Much of the OT's role includes positioning, feeding, controlling the sensory environment, and parent support and coaching.
According to what we were told it is extremely unlikely that they would consider hiring a new grad and it would not be an appropriate placement for a fieldwork student. It was a pretty big deal that we got to visit the NICU at all. If that was the direction we wanted to go with our career, we were encouraged to get experience in hospitals and early intervention. I'd be interested to hear if your school had NICU fieldwork placements available.
Our textbook for the class was Developmental and Therapeutic Interventions in the NICU if you're interested in learning more.
