From a NICU mama I appreciate your dedication along with all the other nurses!! I know it sucks not drinking or eating or having a chance to sit, but you put our babies fighting for their lives first and that means the world to me!

Incredibly inspiring! I was born pre-term at 25 weeks, weighing 1 pound. Thanks to NICU nurses like you I was able to thrive. Now I’m a Pediatric occupational therapist. With love from Canada 🇨🇦

Woah, ok this is REALLY a small world… I was also born at 25 weeks, I weighed 1 pound and 13 ounces, AND I was born in Illinois, but my parents lived in CANADA at the time I was born, so I had to be flown there in a learjet in an incubator when I was 2 weeks old!

Congratulations on becoming a nurse!! I was born 2 months premature and everyone in the NICU was so amazing. I'm 19 now and healthy thanks to all they did. Thank you for everything you do, you're amazing!!

I love children and baby’s and really want to become a nicu nurse one day, because The thought of helping them and trying to establish a strong happy future for them with their family is so heart warming to me. The thought of having this job just lights me up and makes me feel really warm inside!

You are so inspiring! I was in the NICU after my heart surgery and these nurses really helped me survive. I want to be a NICU nurse when I grow up.

It's great hearing about your nursing path Leighton, it is really encouraging! It's incredible to see more motivating videos. Thank you for everything you do, nurses! 👏

Interesting to see your day as a NICU nurse. Bless you for taking care of the littlest ones.

Even though we are not in the same state, it is the great NICU nurses like yourself that I am grateful for. I have a baby in the NICU who was born at 26 weeks in January 26, I wasn’t due until April. So seeing how caring and humble you are really makes me happy. I love seeing other nurses who really do love their job and truly care for the beautiful babies in the NICU . Thankyou for everything that you do ❤️

I was born at 26 weeks and stayed in the nicu for 10 weeks! Thank you to all NICU nurses! I’m now getting my BScN…hopefully I can one day work in the NICU for a full circle moment. (In the same hospital even!)

Such an inspiring video! I was born at 27 weeks weighing 1lb 11oz and in the hospital for 2 months. The nurses just like you helped me to successfully get to the point of going home happy and healthy 😊 I am now waiting to hear from the admissions committee to enter Nursing School. My goal is to be a pediatric nurse going into NICU. ♥️

I love these NICU nurse day in the life videos! I’m starting an internship this summer on the NICU floor and graduate in December 🙂

I'm in nursing at UTK!!! and I am super interested in NICU, you are so inspiring!!!

I'm in x-ray school, I always love when we get to go up to the NICU for the baby x-rays even though sometimes they can be very sick

this is super interesting. I am working on some NICU nurse items for my etsy store and have been looking to get some inspo from an actual NICU nurse. Your awesome, thank you for all that you do!

I’m a new NICU nurse and I’m so excited and scared at the same time. My sons were NICU babies as well.

Doing research on NICU Nurses for college and this was very helpful!!!

Last semester nursing student who is doing Capstone in the NICU! So excited!

You are living my dream. I am a student nurse about to commence my second year. I have always aspired to become a nicu nurse!! It’s really difficult to get placement blocks in this speciality of nursing😢

Omgosh your hair is so beautiful

Yesss my dream career !!!!

uqora was a lifesaver for me and worked better than anything prescribed to me, havent had an infection in over 2 years. hope it works well for you!

currently in nursing school and NICU is my dream !

Wow your hair 😍 I’m an LPN hoping to get into a bridge program next year!

Omg I love you!

i’m a nursing student and graduate in May and am interested in the NICU! Your videos are great🥰 I make nursing school videos

That water running the whole time you were brushing your teeth and washing your face nearly killed me.

Hahaaaha the part when she mentioned using the concealer in the morning seeing how long she'll keep it up OMG that's so me early in the morning rushing early in the morning nurse hours are tough 😅 & the part about barely getting to drink during the day too accurate.

I love this!! If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I just turned 22 and have been considering nursing school but I feel like I have fell behind a little bit by being so undecided with what I want to do with my life. I know I definitely need to figure it out soon. Would you recommend this profession?

I am looking to start Nursing school to be a NICU Nurse . I’ve enrolled in classes but with work right now I can’t do those classes in person . How did you do it ? Do you have any advice? Also I love your videos ❤️

Hey! I’m not in nicu, but I’m a new grad in peds. Med-surg is a specialty in itself and is great but isn’t for everyone and you certainly don’t “have” to start there. Everyone gets a lot of med surg in school typically, but it’s perfectly fine and encourage to apply in the area you’re passionate about! :)

Can you post your recipe for your oat meal

Looks like you do more work getting ready in the morning than you do at your job! Lol

I was born two months early and weighed 3 pounds and went without oxygen for an extremely unhealthy amount bc they didn’t think anything was wrong and now I have CP, low muscle tone, semi paralysis in my left leg, I have a brain tumor and a few other physical disabilities. My dream is to work in the special education Field or become a pediatric physical therapist.

Just a question for future sake. Is it illegal to post pictures of the hospital, I know we can't post pictures of pts info. Just wondering. Great vlog I'm a MRI tech traveler.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭ “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless y’all!!
