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.
Congratulations! Are you certified in infant massage with the new position, or use it for that matter? I’m currently a student and was thinking about attending a training to be certified and wondered if you thought it would be beneficial if working in the NICU is a goal. Love your blog and following your journey!
Hello Courtney,
Thank you so much! I actually am not yet certified in infant massage but it is definitely something I am looking into. I think that being a CIMI is a great resume builder and something that will impress future interviewers.
Best of luck to you in your adventure in child life,
Diane
I would love to work with premies. Can’t wait to hear more about your experience with CLS in the NICU.
