so, I went to NICU for clinical. I didn't like it last semester but wanted to try again.
well, I could make sure I don't like it. lol
Maybe just because nurses there are very,,, unprofessional.
I thought some nurses are for clubbing by looking at their makeup and huuuuge earings.
My nurse was very professional and bitter.
She doesn't smile as much but very educated.
Oh also she gave me the crappiest grade on my clinical.
Anyway, I had three babies with terrible moms...
One mom dropped off newborn baby (she is like 1300g) at hospital and left.
but there are the nicest parents adopted her.
I didn't know the women can produce milk without having a baby.
My nurse suggested her to produce her own milk and feed her little baby.
Only thing to do is pumping every two hours for 10 min.
She might need hormone shots but I didn't know it is possible.
Of course it will be less than after real pregnancy but still!!!
Women's body is very mysterious.
The other baby's mom was SSRI user. well, she just might need to take them but baby had a respiratory depression. He was okay when i was there but he doesn't know how to suck milk from the bottle so IV was needed to feed him.
The last one is a month old baby. so he is very big for NICU patient.
His mom was abused by Oxycodone (percocet) during her pregnancy
She took it 30mg every two hours
When he came to NICU, he couldn't stop crying, had hoarse and agitating.
I just can't believe how people can do to their own babies!
At the end, the baby was smiling at me and try to get attention just like other a month old baby.
I was holding him for 30 min (because I didn't want to listen to my nurse's teaching)
I don't know when I will have my baby, but I kinda liked it.
So it was actually better experience than before because last time my nurse didn't let me do anything.
but this time I was doing it without asking it (well it's just diaper change)
I think I just loved ER (even I was very slow for nurses :(. ) and med-surg.
Hopefully I can get those job at first in Chicago... or Oregon?
wherever I am going.
