My daughter was born at 31 weeks and spent 58 days in the NICU over an hour from home. Her nurses were literal angels on earth, specifically the night shift nurses. I was there during the day but they were with her all night and would happily talk to me on the phone as many times as I needed to make it through the night. My husband got the flu while she was inpatient and the doctor wanted me to have 2 doses of tamiflu before coming to see her as a precaution, her nurses FaceTimed me at least twice a day to my emotions. She’s 8 now and we still talk to some of her nurses!

People who are not in healthcare will never understand. Nurses are literally the people and faces that everybody sees daily. you know them more than anybody so yeah their trams is your trauma because it’s your job to make sure they are OK

I wish my daughter's drs could experience even just 24 hrs in her body. we get so much more empathy and compassion from our nurses and the drs tell me not pooping for 30 days and then seizing every time she tries is totally normal. it's heart breaking

My daughters nicu nurses cried with us the day we had to let her go in January. I feel like you’ll never know the pain of nurses or parents unless you in the position. Me personally. It made the trama and the pain ease just a little more having the nurses with us and show us there emotions. It made my and my fiancé have a much better much comfortable more beautiful experience losing our girl in the best way it could in that situation. The nurses helped us through the day and we couldn’t of gone thru it without them

Yes! The cries in the ER of a mama who’s miscarried. The families who’ve lost someone. Working in post op and hearing a family and patient find out a colonoscopy found colon cancer. We carry that. And on the day it DOESNT affect us. Then we need to stop being a nurse.

My boys spent 4 months in the NICU and those nurses took care of me emotionally as much ae they cared for my boys physically. They made sure I was included, made me feel like I was their mom, and gave me the confidence to take them home. They also sat and listened to me on some very hard days. I don’t know how you can work in the NICU and not be invested in the families of the babies you care for.

It’s been over 2 years since I lost one of my primaries and I still have a hard time taking care of babies in the same bed space

I’m pretty sure the nurse that was taking care of my son in the NICU had never experienced a loss because she was newer. I think about her sometimes and how it affected her/still affects her. It was pretty traumatic 😔

My daughter was in the NICU for a brain injury (sever hie) and the nurse would cry with me in the room after they also hearing she wouldn’t make it home and they cried with me when i was holding her after that news and told me you got this. She’s home today and is way better then what she was in the NICU and all the nurses she has had have always asked me how she’s doing now. We love you NICU nurses!!!❤️

I wish families and patients knew just how much we think about and remember them! We bear witness to their pain/heartache and celebrate their milestones and accomplishments. Their pain is heard, felt, validated, etc. long after they’ve left the hospital and I think (hope) many would be comforted by the fact that we see them and feel with them. They’re not forgotten!

My daughter was put on her breathing tube today again and her primary nurse hasn’t been with us for over a month and saw me and literally gave me a hug and cried with me.

As a NICU mama, we are in this trauma together. Yall are so empathetic. Definitely not the exact same but you are experiencing the same trauma.

I fully support every hospital should have care rooms for nurses. Then on the other side. As an IT professional, I also believe they should have rage rooms. Like when IT is doing upgrades in the middle of your shift or when charge nurse is being a pain! 😂

A nurse cried with me when I got my epidural and I don’t know it helped because I felt like she could see me. As a person not just another thing to do at work.

So, they expect you to see bad day in and day out and have… no reaction or trauma?

Every December I get more melancholy and sad then normal and I will know that the death day of a pt that really got me is coming up, it’s been almost 6 years and I still cry when I think about that Dec night and her toddler screaming for his mom

I will never forget my first patient that died in nursing school. I will never forget his name or the stories his family told me throughout the day. My mom lost a son before I was born and I like to imagine that there is a nurse out there who thinks about him

It’s nowhere close to the same but we feel real grief too. I’ve sat in my driveway and sobbed for patients after bad nights. I have to get it out so I don’t take it in to my babies. I wouldn’t want a heartless nurse who didn’t care and was unaffected by tragic things.
