NICU nurses are the best of course, so why not share the awesomeness here! Have a suggestion? Send it to me and I’ll see what I can do. Disclaimer for disclaimers sake: I love my job. I love my co-workers and the team I work with. I love my hospital. Most importantly, I love being a nurse! “Those days” don’t change that. Also, nothing posted here pertains to a specific patient or patient’s family. If you think it does, you’re wrong. So let’s just all agree now that there will be NO HIPPA violations… mmm, ‘kay? Also, should you ever find out what hospital I work for, please know that anything posted here by me or the commentators does not reflect the views of my employer, institution, or its affiliates.Tumblr (3.0; @whatshouldwecallnicunursing)http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/“For all of those nurses and nurses-to-be who keep asking, “How do I know if NICU...http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50890054525http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50890054525Mon, 20 May 2013 02:12:44 -0400nicunicu nursingnursingnew nursesstudent nursenursing schoolwhatshouldwecallnicunursingneonatal nurses“The collective response to Nurses’ Week:” - (and staff meetings… and...http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50876045429http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50876045429Sun, 19 May 2013 22:33:45 -0400whatshouldwecallnicunursingnursenursingnurses weekMy Day Was Worse Than Yours: 10 Things To Remember When You Get Your First Job As A New Nurse:...http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50791265455http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50791265455Sun, 19 May 2013 01:27:06 -0400“Reading the social worker’s case notes:” - http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50511855445http://whatshouldwecallnicunursing.tumblr.com/post/50511855445Wed, 15 May 2013 15:13:31 -0400whatshouldwecallnicunursingthey have a history of WHAT?!nicunicu nursingNICU Nursing Problemsnursingnursesneonatal nursessocial workThanks!
