In 2013, after a close family friend delivered twin boys at 28 weeks, I decided to transfer to nursing school with the goal of becoming a NICU nurse. I was able to land my dream job at Brigham and Women’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in 2017, and never looked back. Without a doubt, this is the most rewarding and inspiring job I have had.
Fast forward 10 years, in 2023, one of my best friends delivered her son at 29 weeks. Taking care of Henry, reminded me just how much I love this career I’ve chosen.
This year, I march for all the babies who have graduated from our NICU after short stays, half-year stays, and everything in between. I March for all of our families who didn't get the chance to take their precious babies home with them. I march for my friends and co-workers who became NICU moms themselves and showed me strength and resiliency that is beyond words.
