Original caption

The first year in the NICU is hard. There. I said it. Every time you start to feel like you understand the NICU, a new diagnosis, medication, procedure, or piece of equipment appears and it feels overwhelming. That does not mean you are falling behind. The goal during your first year is not to know everything. It is to recognize what you do not know, ask safe questions, and know where to find reliable information. A new assignment is not proof that you are unprepared. It is another opportunity to grow your NICU knowledge. It’s a chance to escalate, advocate, and grow in your skills. You’ve got this! ❤️ #NICUNurse #NewGradNurse #fyp #howtobecomeanicunurse #NICU
