If you are not given permission to touch, hold, breathe near, and especially KISS another humans baby/kid then DONT FUCKING DO IT. And if you KNOW youβve been around sick people or feel sick how about being considerate and not going around them. The ICU is full X3 people.
A year ago today I thought the time I had left with my mom was limited and wasnβt even sure weβd see this Christmas. This year Iβm extra grateful.
All I want is for some little kid to be able to look back one day and say βthatβs the nurse that made me smile on one of the worst days of my lifeβ and βthatβs the nurse that validated and accepted my angerβ.
My pre teen patient is awake at 5 am and her βcall lightβ is her maraca so now she just randomly shakes it and makes me come in for a 5 second dance party then goes back to her business π₯Ήπ
