Pediatric Critical Care Nurse Jobs

In our line of work, life does literally change in a moment... a blink of an eye... a turn of the head... sometimes forever. Our nursing staff prides itself in rising to the challenge of helping families deal with these moments. Moments where the floor falls out from underneath the feet of parents. Where their breath leaves their body. Where their stomach feels as though it has been punched by Evander Holyfield. It is definitely not the kind of nursing everyone gravitates towards. But as for me and my family in the Pediatric Critical Care Unit, we love it. In the past week, that notion has been strongly reinforced. There is just nothing like helping a parent through that time of crisis. Though we can not possibly know how they truly feel, we can surely give them all of the emotional support we have. It is a simple concept: treat people the way you would like to be treated. Parents never forget their time with us, the entire memory of an event that will last their lifetime. It is clear our actions and words have the power to make those memories better or worse. I would like to think we make connections with our families that endear us to them for a lifetime. I know that long after they leave, we certainly never forget them. It is a gift to guide them through unexpected events and show them a path to navigate the chaos. No wonder I wouldn’t do anything else.
