Re: You Know You're a NICU Nurse When...

When I first met my son in the NICU, one of the things that impressed me was that this <800 grm baby could pee over the bottom of the bed into the trash can. Good job, kiddo!!

Re: You Know You're a NICU Nurse When...

...you've ever been freaked out seeing an adult (or even small child!) sized ETT.

...your bladder is bigger than your patient.

...you've had daydreams of smacking parents on the head with a bendybar.

...at least one of your patients has been on tv/in the paper as a miracle baby.

...you've ever got a medic opinion on a baby that's 'just not quite right' and find it hard to explain how you know the baby is obviously septic/had a bleed/got NEC with the most vague symptoms.


Argh, first night tiredness is not helping my brain
