I have four days left of this placement, and I have really enjoyed it.

I have been able to feed and care for such tiny babies...some weighing as little as 850 grams. It has been a challenge putting a nappy on such a tiny baby who have wires getting in the way, and tiny legs that keep kicking your hand out of the way lol.

I have had the opportunity to work in the high dependency room, and the nursery, so have looked after babies needing a lot of care, and also those who need slightly less.

Even though this will only be a three week placement, I have learnt so much in that short time, and I really would love to work on there, it is somewhere I feel I could really make a difference.

I'm on NICU next semester, am really looking forward to it, but am worried that it might be upsetting?! don't know, i'm not a crier anyway..hopefully i'll be ok!

Really glad you enjoyed it though...beats P/N huh? Hopefully you may be able to do some time in there when you qualify? I'm sure they have a midwife or two knocking around on ours...It must be a great learning experience too, we only really know how to take care of and assess healthy babies at the moment! xxx
