NICU video

This is not for the squeamish, since it contains a Celine Dion song. I thought this was a nice glimpse into what I see on a daily basis at work every night. These are not your healthy, cuddly babies, but the ones I see still have little personalities all the same.

That's a beautiful video. I used to do labor and delivery nursing, and I always had a deep appreciation for the NICU nurses. I work as a geriatric NP now, but I do miss my days as an RN on the L&D floor. And I know I am very thankful to the NICU nurses that took care of my little niece when she was in there.

I'm going find some tissue now! *sniffles*

Kev - I'm not sure if it's subliminally because I have such a respect for what you've chosen to do, or because I'm intent on "bucking the trend" but I recently queued a male student to the top of his preference list for third year placements, because his first choice was NICU. He just stopped by my office the other day to say he'd been hired as a third year Employed Student Nurse for the summer, and I nearly peed - I'm so proud of my boy-os!!
