Day In The Life Of A NICU Nurse. 12 Hour Night Shift I TIFFANYRN 

i’m currently a HS senior who wants to go into NICU nursing and this was so insightful ty!

God bless you for working nights! I did for 6 years. Been on day shift ever since. NICU nursing has changed a lot since I started as a new grad in 1981. We didn’t even have pulse ox monitors! I love the babies I care for & have loved my work as I near retirement.

Planning to do another day in my life as a nicu nurse since you guys love this video so much!! 💕🥰. Give this video a thumbs up if I should!! 👍🏻

My baby is in the NICU. Thanks for explaining what a NICU rn does. I have a better understanding.

I’m a senior in high school this year. I’m the oldest sibling in my family, so I’ve always taken care of the younger kids. I’ve wanted to be a NICU RN because of my love and passion for helping kids. Thank you for making this video, so much information and a good heads up for what to expect!

I have a micropreemie in NICU and I really wanna thank all the NICU nurses! I’m so grateful for you guys & ALL that you do ❤

I was a NICU mommy with our little daughter for 40’days in 2020. Her NICU nurses were our only contact while we were in the unit (no other visitors because of covid). I couldn’t ever thank them enough for not only the medical support for our baby but the emotional support they gave us. You all are God’s hands at work on earth.

I am very glad I found your channel. I am a sophomore in High School and currently I'm really stressed and scared. I hope and pray I can become a NICU nurse ❤️

From a fellow NICU nurse, I love your channel and found this video super insightful. Thanks for sharing what we do so clearly.

I'm not a nurse myself however, I've been cared for by several extremely talented,empathetic,committed and supportive not only RN's,ARNPS but also the occasional LPN or two as well. I have an extremely high level of respect and honor.

So grateful for the NICU nurses 💓 thanks for all you do!

Oncology nurse here and had my baby few days ago @ 33 weeks. Baby is still in the NICU but doing good. Amazing what you guys do. So inspiring

I was blessed enough to have a group of NICU nurses that took care of my twins after I had them in 2009. You are a guardian angel. Thank you

I'm a pediatric oncology nurse, but have always also been interested in NICU! Loved this little peek into what you guys do!

Really enjoy your vibe and the vibe of the channel and LOVE the topics you spoke about 😁💕💜

I love how you say my baby it shows true love for the patient and it is personal for you how well you do the job thanks for all you do

i’m currently in my 2nd semester of nursing school it’s so tough😫 but watching your video is really motivating! helps me get an idea of what i wanna do haha

I am a new grad starting in the NICU soon, and listening to what you do made me more excited and have a better understanding of what is in store! Thank you for sharing!!

Hi! I am a senior ( sadly my sister passed away in the nicu a few years, always felt inspired to be a nicu nurse sense then) . I am currently applying to BSN programs in southern California!

High School Graduate Going to college in the fall here. This really helped me understand a bit more about the job of an NICU nurse, and I am quite interested in becoming one myself. Thank you for giving me the insight 😁💕

Just found your channel! I’m a nursing student, super interested in pediatrics and labor and delivery and want to do travel nursing . Love your content and your hard work💜

I actually was born a premature baby,I was born like i think 5-6months early I was told I was at least 1pound or as my family and parents say I weighed like the size of a can of beans,and my brothers son (my nephew) was premature but he didn’t make it,and so to me this definitely hits home and means a lot to me I’m already interested in the field of nursing and I was interested in L&D nursing or PEDs nursing,but just found out what this was actually called,because this was honestly my reasoning of wanting to be a nurse in the first place,and working with infants and kids because I’ve been through that and it means a lot to me to see infants make it through and fight for there life. I see a lot of mothers who’ve been through it in the comments & irl and other people who are interested in this field,but me I feel very different about it because not only have I been through it and almost didn’t make it myself but the chance to even help a baby, a child the best way that I can,I just get a comfort from that,knowing that I did my best to support them,help them and I think people who are born premature are the strongest people on earth…tbh because they come out the womb a literal fighter ❤

I’m so proud of you 👍🏻🤍🤍🤍

Hi there. I'm only 13 but I want to be a nicu nurse when I grow up so your videos are fun to watch for me!

Im in my 4th year of nursing school and have wanted to be a NICU nurse since 8th grade! thank you for this video :)

Pre-nursing student hoping to be a NICU nurse here!

So glad I found this channel! I start my capstone in the NICU next month ❤

thank you so much for everything you do for these sweet angels! this Thursday my preemie (29 weekers) twins will be a year old! i am forever grateful for all that their NICU nurses did for them in the 40 days that they were there! having a preemie (or two in my case) that have to stay in the NICU is beyond scary but it really puts you at ease when the nurses love the babies and care for them like their own 🥰

i’m in college majoring in nursing and this was so helpful!!!

Currently in nursing school and so so excited for the day I get to do what you are doing ! Thank you so much for this informative video and for all you do !:)

I'm starting my preceptorship tomorrow in the NICU! This was very insightful. Thank you!

This video was really informative, thank you so much!

Thank you for taking the time for this video!

I’m a nursing student currently exploring my options, I thought I loved icu but currently loving maternal-child nursing, and I think NICU may be on my radar!

In nursing school right now! I have wanted to be a NICU nurse for some time now. Thank you for this video!!

Thank you for sharing this. I just found your channel. I’m aspiring to become a NICU nurse. I was in physical therapy and changed my major over to nursing. Nursing seems to be my calling. While I was working at the hospital, I got to witness surgeries and feel in love. Now, it seems the NICU may be in my path. Love your content and how thorough you are.. I’m going to binge all the other videos! ♥️♥️♥️

I wish I found this sooner. My son was born at 30 weeks 5 days weighting 2lbs 8.5 oz. By emergency c seaction. As a NICU parent. Thank you for all you do for our babies. Its highly appericated.

I think this was the most informative one I watched and I really liked it! My ultimate goal in Nursing is to become an Nicu nurse, so I really really liked this Vlog I see that it’s two years. Going to check and see if you’re still making them.

Loved this !! Very informative!

I'm a third semester junior nursing student and I'm really considering NICU. This made me feel better about my choice!

Hello Tiffany! I will be starting the nursing program in the fall and I’m so ready! My passion is NICU and I watch these type of videos on a daily basis. Looking forward to more helpful videos!

Very informative and encouraging! Thanks Sis! G-D Bless ♥️

thank you for this. alot of day in the life videos are just them getting ready to go to work and not explaining

I am currently a medical/cardiac RN studying to be a midwife. But i start my dream position as a NICU RN in the same hospital and NICU that my brother, sister and I (triplets) spent months in when we were born at the end of the month! I am beyond grateful and excited!

loved this video! keep up the great work 🤗

I'm an ICN nurse at a level 2 hospital in my area. During orientation I was chill but I'm off orientation for three weeks now and I'm finding myself more nervous than before. A lot of that nervousness is coming from me not feeling totally prepared because I don't know everything yet. I'm still learning as I go. Nursery nurses attend all deliveries at this hospital and during labor I get so anxious if the baby is in distress. Lord. It's a slow process but every shift I work I learn something new. What I find is hard for me now is the APGAR scoring at 1 & 5 mins & training my mind to be automatic in an emergency. Sometimes a baby's cry will sound weaker than others and the more deliveries I attend the easier it is to tell but I still second guess myself on the scoring and I need to be straight in what it is I'm seeing. As for emergencies it takes my mind a minute to process what's happening and a minute is too much time wasted 😩 I just want to be better!

Your video was so helpful ! Thank you 😊

Thank you for all the invaluable resources you provide for new nurses! PS you are beautiful!

Thank you very much! This is very helpful ❤️

I’m aspiring to be a NICU nurse. This was so helpful. Thank you

Loved this video! You helped me understand medicine and nursing, which is the field I want to go into. I am subscribed!

This video really helped and you are a good NICU nurse. My son is currently in the NICU and we have been having many issues since he is about to be discharged

Thank you! My daughter was in the nicu for a month. Now I'm in nursing school and want to go help the other babies in the nicu

I'm only in my freshman year of highschool and this is something I've been wanting to do forever 💕 I love babies and I can't wait to pursue this :)

Hi Tiffany, I found your channel from your comment on Miki Rai's channel. I find nursing content fascinating. I enjoyed watching this video where you take us along with you to work. You produce interesting content, which is why I subscribed. Nurses are my favorite people.

I graduate next month and have been praying I get a nicu residency. Your video was very helpful because in peds we couldn’t shadow a nicu nurse or even go in because of covid.

Thank you! This was very helpful

So glad I seen this channel. I am a sophomore in college and just passed my teas and had my interview with the nursing directors and I’m currently waiting if I got in. I’m very interested in becoming a NICU nurse :)

I just graduated from nursing school. My ER nurse residency got postponed/canceled for the summer so while waiting for a fall start date I am doing pediatric home health as a nurse and my ER is letting me continue as PRN as an ER tech!

i’m a freshman in highschool, and i want to be a nicu nurse. this was very helpful and interesting! thank you for the tips too!!

I’m currently a junior in hs and this was so inspiring and helpful!

I am also a NICU or to be precise, used to be.. I enjoy this video. I miss being a NICU nurse.

I loved this video! I want to become a pediatric nurse practitioner. I would love to see more videos like this

I’m a fellow nurse and I’m so curious about working in the NICU, thank you for sharing!!

Im also a senior in high-school and i’ve been struggling to figure out what field of nursing i wanted to specialize in, and ur video was very helpful

So tiny and precious :( ♥ it was an interesting video and very informative. I don't think I could handle it though if the little one didn't make it. I'd cry all night/day.

Great video! I am a nursing student and this is my dream job to be in the NICU!

This was a great video. I’m a nursing student wanting to be a NICU nurse and we don’t do rotations with NICU so I really wanted to see what it was like!

Def on my way to MSN NP NICU Hopefully next year I’ll start as RN

I'm going to be a neonatal nurse as well have currently just got a place in college and will go onto uni to study child's nursing then specialise into neonatal nursing! Please can you do a video on your journey to becoming a NICU nurse, like did u go to uni? What A Levels you took? Were you a nurse before hand? This would be so helpful for those who want to do the job you do! That's only if you have time, u must be really busy. Your such an amazing person ♥️♥️

Check out my new day in my life as a nicu nurse, DAY SHIFT edition!! 🥰 give me some love by commenting on that video 😊 and check out my nicu guidebook! nicunursetiff.wixsite.com/tiffanyrn/nicu-guidebook

Hi Tiffany! Love this thorough video! A lot of insights! I’ve never heard of a milk tech before! Very cool! I’m just wondering which hospital is this in CA? I wanna apply there as well 😆 thank you!

I am an aspiring nurse in my senior year of high school. I plan on starting my AS in nursing next year and volunteering at a hospital in January.

Much love for our NICU nurses. I work in high risk mother baby and we get to know our nicu team well. Who knows, maybe that's where I'll end up next!

Rule Number One- NURSES RULE! Rule Number Two- In Case of Doubt, Refer To Rule Number One! ALWAYS! Thank You For Doing What You Do! 😇✌️🇺🇸♥️

i’m a junior in HS, and i’m taking ekg classes right now this is my first semester and next semester we are doing phlebotomy. My dream job has always been to be a NICU RN and watching your video just inspired me so much🥺💗

So I am 16 and I am so obsessed with being a neonatologist and the reason y I want to be one is because I love kids almost every kid I know was practically raised by me from. A baby to a toddler so that inspired me more and I know a lot about pregnancy so I think I am good for this career

Thank you for this video! It’s amazing! I’ve heard about different levels in the NICU, and I was just wondering if each level has a different pay. I’m also wondering if the NICU nurses can work at the different levels whenever they are needed, or if they typically stay at the same level. Thank you and I love your content! Keep it up!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I’m only in the 8th grade and I’ve been wanting to be a nurse forever and I have been very passionate about being a nurse

Med Surg nurse here 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m hoping to end up in the NICU or L&D one day but it’s a miracle to get it 😩

Great video Tiffany! Im a nursing student in Canada and I currently am taking speciality courses in order to become a NICU nurse here :) where did you get your grey sweater from? It's sooooo cute!

I am working on my ged. aspiring to be a nurse. Really thinking about a NICU nurse!

my dream

Very informative...

I just transferred to the NICU from the pediatric CVICU

I love this video, I grasp good experience from your video, I am working in NICU and I would like to transform the nursing care, please share your experience to improve the quality care.

Is being a nicu nurse really hard emotionally considering the fact that some babies dont make it? Also how do you deal with that pain?

Nursing runs in my family. And I always want to go into nursing especially with babies. My fiancé will help me get through nursing school so I can get going on that. He is in the army still deployed so he wants to make sure I am ok before he gets deployed again.
