Our NICU just went on divert??? How is that possible?? We’re the only high risk L and D in our metro area what are mom’s supposed to do just hold off?

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

I stayed 4 hours after work, we were down 4 nurses and crashed two sets of super premie twins within an hour. Being in healthcare is no fun

@criticalcare_mo Welcome to Colorado! I’m biased but it’s a pretty neat place

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

We admitted 5 critically ill infants…in the span of 30 minutes…all with little notice. I am so very tired but grateful for our team

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

Feeling pretty yucky, I had a three day panic attack and I’m trying to recover from that but now I work three in a row and can’t help but feel like nobody can stand me

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

@nicunurselifee My hospital system locks us in a two year contract or I would 😅

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

I can see why people leave bedside, a friend just offered me a job working for a pharm company that pays double what I make, no nights, weekends, or holidays. If it wasn’t for my babies I’d jump ship

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

In Covid updates they’re talking about floating us out to the hospital 😮‍💨

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

Ok friends I love what I do but I hate my hospital, what do I do??

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

My first day off orientation and I have a vented baby whose least favorite thing in the world is breathing, plus side tho is every time he would brady he would grin a little

Me having to start the generational wealth

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

@lkharvey15 @PlantMamaRN We still have a Pyxis which is a relief

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

@ModerateFERN True! I do love some OT

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

I picked up an overtime shift and they have my cleaning isolates, I should be home sleeping 😴

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

Just resuscitated a 23 weeker and idk how to feel about it 😪

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

They rotate me every 6 weeks between nights and days and idk if I can last two years 😴

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

Is anyone else’s NICU severely low on babies?? We’re a 50 bed unit with 20 patients and I’m already out of mandatory PTO hours 😪

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

I think I’m not living day shift purely because of the older nurses and some of their outdated views??? Like what do I even say back

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

My hospital called a disaster code and now we need to stay the night. I am so very tired lmao

[NewgradNICU @nicuthriving]

I work all weekend into next week and they’re really saying I may just need to sleep at the hospital, I’m pre sad
