Something that interest’s me is my degree. I cannot wait to be done with school and start my career as a Registered Nurse (RN). The field I want to get into is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). I thought writing “this would be a great paper to write about, give some insight on why it is important to have the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and how it works for the patient and their parents. Soon to be parents dream of having the perfect pregnancy. A pregnancy that is free of making difficult decisions
In the neonatal intensive care unit, pain is something to be expected. The question is, when the neonate is in pain will the nursing staff recognize it and how will they try to compensate for it? Infants in their first few weeks of life can go through incredibly painful procedures at a time where any amount of stress to the body can negatively impact their abilities to survive. In the past, pain has not been held in high regards for neonates due to a lack of understanding in their development
After spending a copious amount of time in and out of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with my family over the course of a month, I developed an interest in its operation. Being a neonatologist became my leading occupation of interest. I chose to further research this topic in hopes of finding out whether or not this is the career path for me. In my research paper, I plan to go into further detail about the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), common medical conditions found in premature infants
The introductory unit to occupational therapy services in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was highly informative and interesting along with being complex. A majority of the content from the Jane Case-Smith and Jane Clifford O’Brien chapter and the Dr. Pamela J. Kling lecture was very new for us and, therefore, was also very exciting. Our knowledge regarding the NICU has now grown after reading and listening to these great resources and we can now understand the specific causes, manifestation
Preface I chose to do my project on breastfeeding promotion in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) because of two reasons. The first reason is because after graduation I plan to work in the NICU. The second reason I chose the topic is because my nephew was born premature and he was in the NICU. During that time, I watched my sister struggle with providing breastmilk for him. Even though it was something she really wanted to do there was just too many barriers that stood in her way. Unfortunately

If your baby is admitted to the NICU, your first question probably will be:
nursing field. I come to believe that I want to become a Nurse Practitioner and work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. My love for babies is unexplainable, and knowing the fact that I can have the chance to help babies become healthy touches my heart. Babies are being born at earlier than 24 weeks’ gestation and are living and growing naturally. Working as a doctor or nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU) can be very stressful and challenging. After researching this occupation, I feel that
Neonatal nurses spend their career working with babies, those that are healthy and those that are not. Working with newborns is guaranteed to have its challenges, especially for those particular nurses who choose to work in the neonatal intensive care unit. The neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, is where the infants suffering from potentially fatal diseases/disorders are held. NICU nurses struggle with life and death situations each and everyday, which is sure to be accompanied by specific emotions
In the article ¨Moral Distress And Avoidance Behavior In Nurses Working In Critical Care And Noncritical Care Units,” by Mary Jo De Villers, she states ¨it has been predicted that there will be a shortage of 500,000 nurses in the United States by 2025.¨ This counts for the United States alone. Many articles state that more and more research is being done on moral distress relating to nurses all around. This leaves researchers wondering, could this be the main reason for the shortage of nurses? Moral
