being a NICU nurse is scary most days, but today I walked out saying to myself “wow, you literally just brought a 28 week baby back to life after it stopped breathing”, gotta give myself a little credit on these days
Premature infants have apnea-brady-desat episodes (ABD’s) where the infant goes apneic and the HR and O2 drop. Sometimes they self correct and breathe again, others need stim or worst case PPV. Over time infants outgrow the episodes #NICUAwarenessMonth
Happy NICU Awareness Month!! My job leaves me in awe, I take care of the tiniest and strongest patients. This year especially, keep in mind that tiny preemies grow up to be immunocompromised toddlers. Be safe. Do the right thing. Hand hygiene and masks keep the little ones safe
my heart hurts for this family, but my sis too... your heart gets attached to these babies even if you only care for them a short time.. please keep this baby and my sister in ur prayers
Left work this morning with my baby not doing good at all, I knew something was wrong but couldn’t do anything, only to come back tonight to him passing away a few hours after I left. Let me tell y’all that’s the hardest thing to ever go through. Praying for the family 😭
without a doubt, God’s timing is simply perfect. I pray whoever reads this will know that whatever ur facing, waiting on, hurt or struggling with, that GOD WILL PUT U WHERE U R MEANT TO BE, WHEN U R MEANT TO BE THERE!!! keep faith!!
last night I drove to work, but I wasn’t as excited as I usually am to get to love on some sweet babies. I was SCARED. Scared to be exposed to this virus and scared to expose others to it. I don’t want to drive to work fearful anymore, SO PLEASE STAY HOME
marry the one that pursues & prays for you. marry the one that calls you back. marry the one that checks on your mental health. marry the one that would rather lose the argument than you. marry the one who puts your friendship + relationship + God before the image & romantics.
How to support nurses in ways besides reposting a cheesy Facebook quote about them: Stop hoarding/stealing supplies, stay out of the hospital unless symptoms are life threatening, check in on us in ways besides asking how much corona cases are in our hosp,
What about the healthcare workers??!!! Who is going to protect the ppl caring for these sick individuals?? When will we be a priority to protect??!!! #onarant#sry
