👩🏻‍⚕️Roles of the NICU Nurse 🧑🏻‍⚕️ ⠀⠀


🙌🏼 Advocate - We represent a patient population that cannot voice their pain. We truly need to be the eyes and ears for our patients and speak up on their behalf. ⠀

🕵🏻‍♀️ Detectives - We need to have a questioning attitude. Since babies cannot voice out their pain, we need to question everything and determine appropriate interventions. ⠀

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Centered Care Representative - NICU is not just dedicated to taking care of the patients. We connect closely with families as well and help to communicate with the family on the care of their baby. ⠀

🧑‍🏫 Educator - We are involved with teaching and providing resources for the families. Our role as the educator can be to explain the plan of care and interventions for the baby and providing teaching tools on how to care for their baby. ⠀
