Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Nicu

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit NICU

Are things at times we may be laughing
But never, ever will one be under-staffing
With fewer nurses who were often needed
Assist along a birth that could be impeded.

Then there was the time a son we did adore
By my beautiful wife baby she recently bore
And are glad our son's life God would spare
With Neonatal Intensive Unit who could care.

For a while we had experienced much strife
And a wonderful nurse saved our son's life
Now do see him each time the sun does set
Concerned face of nurse will never forget.

Mark Woods June 21, 2016 at 6:01 AM I know a couple of woman that are NICU nurses. They are absolutely incredible people. A very tough job sometimes and other times nothing could be more rewarding. James Horn June 21, 2016 at 6:47 AM MW, First time that I have heard from you. Thanks for your comments. Doctors said in Orlando that they are there 30 minutes a day. Nurses are there 24 hours a day and don't forget it. Jim Horn
