About littlehands

littlehands specializes in NICU.

I work in a level 3 surgical NICU at a non-delivery children's hospital. We care for all of surgical infants as well as those with genetic and/or birth trauma/defects/disorders. We see all the rare cases in the state including some from other states as well. I will be starting classes in the spring (2013) for DNP-NNP at Univ. of South AL! It will be tough but something I am ready to do! I have a wonderful hubby who is very supportive along with one preteen boy and one teenage boy who are also very supportive of me going back to school! The boys both love to play traveling baseball and are getting started into some basketball, needless to say with sports, hunting, fishing, camping, etc we stay on the go all year long!
