Original caption
Funny only because it’s true! As a new grad NICU nurse I was so nervous to talk to the doctors. However, I learned that I should not stop escalating simply because the first person contacted is not concerned. If the baby continues to deteriorate: • Restate what has changed • Compare the findings with the baby’s baseline • Be clear about the urgency • Ask for a bedside assessment • Involve the charge nurse • Continue through the chain of command when needed Escalation is not about proving someone wrong. It’s about being the voice and the advocate for the baby and the family. #howtobecomenicunurse #NICUNurse #fyp #NICU #NewGradNurse
