My son was in the NICU but only for a short time (under a week). I'm diabetic which gave him unstable and low blood sugars when he was born. Lol, he was the only 10 pound baby there!! The nurses always made us feel so good and were so wonderful and caring. They really were a huge part of the beginning of his life, we'll never forget them.
I'm sure your patients feel the same way about you!!
