NICU. . .

Yesterday I had my first clinical for the BSN program. I went to the NICU.
I was a little nervous because I didn't think the nurses would want some student nurse following them around all day asking questions and asking to do all sorts of things, but I was wrong my nurses were wonderful and they let me do all sorts of stuff.
I fed babies both bottle and gavage style. I did assessments and I held quite a few babies. Babies are so smart. They figured out that if they cry enough a  nurse will pick them up and hold them, sure enough we do.
Mom says that after my four clinicals that I have, I should know if that is what I want to do for the rest of my life. That day went pretty well, hopefully next time there will be more babies and perhaps a couple of admits I can help with. I will just have to wait and see.
