NICU Reflection

They are “masters or [doctorally] prepared advanced practice nurse who provides advanced nursing care to neonates up to two years of age in a variety of clinical settings” ("Neonatal Nurse Practitioner."). There are many different levels in the neonatal field such as level one being just taking care of healthy infants.

    Neonatal Nursing Research Paper

    According to The Premature Infant Advocacy Resource Guide, in the United States, 11.5% of births are preterm and such infants require special attention and care. Neonatal nurses provide the much-needed care for infants that are born without proper functions that will allow them to live a healthy life. Neonatal nurses specialize in many different types of care in order to help these particular infants. Units of care for infants range from premature development problems to serious respiratory and digestive problems. There are specific neonatal nurses that specialize in intensive care units in hospitals to take care of infants immediately after birth (NICU).…

    NICU nursing was Formed at Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1960. A NICU nurse is a neonatal intensive care nurse. As a NICU nurse you are responsible for total care of infants who may be diagnosed with congenital defects, delivery complications, or most often premature. If you love helping, and love little kids that are completely dependant on you. This is why NICU nursing is for y’all. Because, there are little babies calling for y’all. They need you to breathe and do any human thing, that we take for granted. Because they can't even take a breathe without you're help of running the breathing machine.…

    NICU Cuddlers

    Twenty-three to thirty-four weeks is a small amount of time in order to develop into a fully functioning human being. When these small patients are born into this world they are most likely rushed into the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where they address their short development time as well as any underlying medical problems, whether they be associated with their development or not. These patients are our smallest and most fragile, but also some of our loneliest. Many times nursing units within hospitals are understaffed and the nurses simply do not have time to spend just holding or speaking softly to an infant going through treatment. This is where "NICU Cuddlers" come into play. These volunteer groups are starting to crop up in hospitals around…

    Examination of the Newborn

    The purpose of this assignment is to explore the issue surrounding screening and examination of the new born from birth. The article will look at why we perform this examination following birth and will pay particular attention to the examination of the eye. It is documented that the purpose of the first examination of the new born is to confirm normality and to provide reassurance to the parents (MacKeith, 1995, Hall, 1999) and also to identify any apparent physical abnormality (Buston and Durward 2001). However the question that we may wish to consider is ‘what is normal in a neonatal who is undergoing major physiological adaptations to extra uterine life (Blackburn and Loper, 1993) ? How as midwives can we fulfil this expectation of norm, when there is, as Hall (1999) suggests no confirmation of normality available ? Nevertheless a thorough search of the literature suggests that the neonatal examination is universally accepted as ‘good practice’, and any deviation from this practice could perhaps, potentiate negligence when subjected to the Bolam test (Sherratt, A, 2001). This test is often used as a benchmark to measure any negligence by, and examines if another professional of same standing would act in the same manner.…

    Working In A NICU: A Case Study

    I have no idea how you can handle working in the NICU. In some ways, I can understand it being extremely gratifying being able to help those babies. However, I cannot imagine myself doing that job, if feel like it would be too much on me mentally. These little guys depend on others; they do not choose what happens to me. I think that is what gets me about these patients. I find myself really impressed that you are not only willing to this job, but seem as if you are thriving at this job. I can see you making a real difference going into that job. Keep up all the good…

    Newborn Exam

    The government initiatives to reduce junior doctors’ hours within the NHS Plan (DH 2000) have increased the call for midwives to expand their traditional role and take on some of the tasks that in the past have mainly been carried out by junior doctors (Kings Fund 2011). Having been working within the community setting as a midwife for the past three years I was interested in extending my role in order to provide more holistic care for my caseload of clients and their babies. Holistic care for mothers, babies and their families is highly recommended within the midwifery profession and is known to provide an improved experience for women (Changing Childbirth (DOH 1993a) NMC 2012, NICE 2006). The Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE) is one element of the UK National Screening programme and is offered to all parents for their baby within 72 hours of birth and then repeated again at 6 weeks of age, usually by their GP. This role is one of the tasks that has been highlighted where midwives can expand their role (Marshall & Raynor 2010). The trust where I work has recently introduced community clinics where parents can take their baby in order to have the newborn examination performed, therefore allowing early discharge home from the unit enabling early family bonding. With this in mind I commenced the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination course.…

    Nicu Recruitment Process

    According to Allbutt and Masters (2010), even the most experienced researchers find difficulty in recruiting adults in a research project. In view of this, Steinke (2004) contended previously that an essential issue in the recruitment process is to develop a mutual trust between the researcher and the participants. Since the researcher is a registered nurse in the NICU team in the hospital where the study will be conducted, a direct trust can be fostered and potential involvement of registered nurses was considered high. Nevertheless, determining recruitment and response rate is influenced by the presence of a network of key individuals who will aid in preparing the participants about the research and support the recruitment process (King and…
