Hi, I wanted to tell U that I really loved reading your journal of learning in the NICU. I have been an NICU RN all of my career & have been away for the last 9 years raising my own miracle son. Now that I must return to work, I am a bit more enthusiastic since reading your post. Very best of luck to U in your journey through neonatal medicine. It is full of rewarding and proud moments, that will give great meaning to your career and life. Sometimes, there are sad moments, that can be a challenging, but even in those times, you can be able to give something from down deep in your soul, to someone who needed what you just gave to them-your caring self. Watching a sick micro-premie grow from barely a pound, on through the steps of maturity, towards becoming healthy enough to place in the Mom's arms for the first time, may be one of the most touching moments of your career. It still is to me and I spent 23 years in this field. I hope that NICU is a wonderful home for you & wish you the best.......Adene
