I just turned 16 a short while ago, but I was wanting to be a nurse since I was 5, but soon discovered the nicu field with infants at 11 and wanted to be a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner for a while and then switched to ob/gyn bc I want to be a doctor, but I soon discovered I wanted to be a Doctor, but with the infants, not just pre/post birth, so I did some research and discovered Neonatology and am over thrilled bc this is the best of both worlds and I am so excited to finish out my next 2.5 years of highschool and work hard to get to that profession!

I was so fortunate to be able to volunteer in the NICU. I am not a nurse or assistant. My job was to bath the newborns and prepare the baby for circumcision. I hated watching it but I knew it had to be done. And when parents were not there I rocked them and rocked and rocked. That was my favorite time. I’d still be doing it if my health had not interfered What a miracle those tiny tiny babies are and oh so strong. Again, I felt privileged to be able to give my time and help the nurses who was so very busy.
