A few weeks ago you may have noticed on my Instagram account I announced I was moving to a new unit. I have been quite busy transitioning over, orienting, and learning the ropes. However, I am so excited to let you all know that I am now working in NICU! I split my days between our orthopedic/surgery unit and NICU so I still see a wide range of patients/ages/diagnoses which I love. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks on my transition into NICU. For now however, check out these milestone cards I made for our babies! They’ve been a huge hit with the families and staff; milestone cards are a great way to commemorate important events in these little ones lives.
Child life specialists help kids cope with hospitalization through the power of play & education.

Love your blog and following your journey!

Diane
