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.
Trying to articulate to parents that the baby sets their own time line for recovery
What you think will happen when you ask a doc to back you up…
What actually happens:
The collective response to Nurses’ Week:
(and staff meetings… and in-services… contact hours… CEUs…)
The Evolution of the New Nurse Part IX…
Every new nurse in the break-room during a particularly bad shift… you know the one. When you feel like you didn’t get anything right all day…
And it’s always the baby whose SpO2 sats swing all night as well… a symphony, if you will, of binging (that I will hear in my sleep for days), that will have me up and nearly gowned just as the baby recovers and the monitor stops… I need a really long stick or something…
