God bless you for working nights! I did for 6 years. Been on day shift ever since. NICU nursing has changed a lot since I started as a new grad in 1981. We didn’t even have pulse ox monitors! I love the babies I care for & have loved my work as I near retirement.
i’m currently a HS senior who wants to go into NICU nursing and this was so insightful ty!
I am so glad this was helpful! And hope you get the opportunity to do nicu 😊💕
That awesome! I'm currently in an ADN program but it took me FOREVER to get here because I didn't inform myself and just relied on my counselor to guide me. So don't be like me. Understand exactly what classes you need, GPA, entrance exam, literally everything! Have a solid plan so you don't waste time. And once you're in nursing school give it your all from the beginning because you're only going through it once, so take full advantage! ☺️ GOODLUCK! 💕
Sameeeeee

I’m 46 and I’m in OB and I hope you do too!!! Stay hungry 😍
I’m a senior in high school this year. I’m the oldest sibling in my family, so I’ve always taken care of the younger kids. I’ve wanted to be a NICU RN because of my love and passion for helping kids. Thank you for making this video, so much information and a good heads up for what to expect!
I am the oldest too! So I know exactly what it’s like to take care of kids growing up. It’s such a wonderful field to be in and glad you have the passion for it. Good luck! 😊👍🏻
Me too and I can't wait😊
Me too! I used to teach and loved it. But now I want a different career.
My baby is in the NICU. Thanks for explaining what a NICU rn does. I have a better understanding.
Glad this video was helpful 😊👍🏻
Mine too, that’s why I wanted to watch this video. How early was your baby born and how are they doing?
I have a micropreemie in NICU and I really wanna thank all the NICU nurses! I’m so grateful for you guys & ALL that you do ❤
Planning to do another day in my life as a nicu nurse since you guys love this video so much!! 💕🥰. Give this video a thumbs up if I should!! 👍🏻
I was a NICU mommy with our little daughter for 40’days in 2020. Her NICU nurses were our only contact while we were in the unit (no other visitors because of covid). I couldn’t ever thank them enough for not only the medical support for our baby but the emotional support they gave us. You all are God’s hands at work on earth.
I am very glad I found your channel. I am a sophomore in High School and currently I'm really stressed and scared. I hope and pray I can become a NICU nurse ❤️
Good luck to you! 👍🏻
I’m a sophomore too!!! (almost a junior) and i’m also thinking about becoming a NICU nurse😃😄
If you are scared and stressed, you shouldn’t be a nicu nurse
@@gmagain who are you to tell me not to do something I'm still young and it's normal to be scared
@@Lifethroughmylens... I'm ok
Oncology nurse here and had my baby few days ago @ 33 weeks. Baby is still in the NICU but doing good. Amazing what you guys do. So inspiring
Sending prayers and love to your baby 🤗
I'm not a nurse myself however, I've been cared for by several extremely talented,empathetic,committed and supportive not only RN's,ARNPS but also the occasional LPN or two as well. I have an extremely high level of respect and honor.
I actually was born a premature baby,I was born like i think 5-6months early I was told I was at least 1pound or as my family and parents say I weighed like the size of a can of beans,and my brothers son (my nephew) was premature but he didn’t make it,and so to me this definitely hits home and means a lot to me I’m already interested in the field of nursing and I was interested in L&D nursing or PEDs nursing,but just found out what this was actually called,because this was honestly my reasoning of wanting to be a nurse in the first place,and working with infants and kids because I’ve been through that and it means a lot to me to see infants make it through and fight for there life. I see a lot of mothers who’ve been through it in the comments & irl and other people who are interested in this field,but me I feel very different about it because not only have I been through it and almost didn’t make it myself but the chance to even help a baby, a child the best way that I can,I just get a comfort from that,knowing that I did my best to support them,help them and I think people who are born premature are the strongest people on earth…tbh because they come out the womb a literal fighter ❤
I was blessed enough to have a group of NICU nurses that took care of my twins after I had them in 2009. You are a guardian angel. Thank you
Hi! I am a senior ( sadly my sister passed away in the nicu a few years, always felt inspired to be a nicu nurse sense then) . I am currently applying to BSN programs in southern California!
I am so sorry to her about your sister but I wish you the best of luck with your nicu nursing journey! Good luck! 💕🙌🏼
Hi there. I'm only 13 but I want to be a nicu nurse when I grow up so your videos are fun to watch for me!
Tay Tay that is amazing! I’m glad you have a passion and chasing after that! Hopefully one day you will be a nicu nurse! Good luck 👍🏻 and thank you. I’m glad you enjoy my videos 💗
me too!
me too
Ayooo we the same lol
Im 14 and Ive wanted to be a NICU nurse since I was 7
So grateful for the NICU nurses 💓 thanks for all you do!
thank you so much for everything you do for these sweet angels! this Thursday my preemie (29 weekers) twins will be a year old! i am forever grateful for all that their NICU nurses did for them in the 40 days that they were there! having a preemie (or two in my case) that have to stay in the NICU is beyond scary but it really puts you at ease when the nurses love the babies and care for them like their own 🥰
Congratulations to your twins!! Happy early birthday to them. I know how hard it can be having a child in the NICU. But I also love being able to connect and get close with families too. I definitely love my job so much and love taking care of the little ones 😊💗
May you and your twins be flourishing now 🥰 it's so scary to deliver a baby early!!
From a fellow NICU nurse, I love your channel and found this video super insightful. Thanks for sharing what we do so clearly.
I'm a pediatric oncology nurse, but have always also been interested in NICU! Loved this little peek into what you guys do!
I love how you say my baby it shows true love for the patient and it is personal for you how well you do the job thanks for all you do
Really enjoy your vibe and the vibe of the channel and LOVE the topics you spoke about 😁💕💜
Thank you so much for your kind words!! 🥰💗
i’m currently in my 2nd semester of nursing school it’s so tough😫 but watching your video is really motivating! helps me get an idea of what i wanna do haha
Pre-nursing student hoping to be a NICU nurse here!
Thank you for all the ideas! I will definitely consider doing more nicu specific videos in the future. And good luck to you on your nursing school journey!! 😊💗
So glad I found this channel! I start my capstone in the NICU next month ❤
I am a new grad starting in the NICU soon, and listening to what you do made me more excited and have a better understanding of what is in store! Thank you for sharing!!
Omg that’s so exciting! Congrats to you!! And thank you for watching 😊
Im in my 4th year of nursing school and have wanted to be a NICU nurse since 8th grade! thank you for this video :)
Omg good luck to you! Almost there! You got this 🙌🏼
High School Graduate Going to college in the fall here. This really helped me understand a bit more about the job of an NICU nurse, and I am quite interested in becoming one myself. Thank you for giving me the insight 😁💕
I'm starting my preceptorship tomorrow in the NICU! This was very insightful. Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Good luck on your preceptorship!! 😊
I’m so proud of you 👍🏻🤍🤍🤍
Currently in nursing school and so so excited for the day I get to do what you are doing ! Thank you so much for this informative video and for all you do !:)
You are so welcome! 🤗
Just found your channel! I’m a nursing student, super interested in pediatrics and labor and delivery and want to do travel nursing . Love your content and your hard work💜
i’m in college majoring in nursing and this was so helpful!!!
I wish I found this sooner. My son was born at 30 weeks 5 days weighting 2lbs 8.5 oz. By emergency c seaction. As a NICU parent. Thank you for all you do for our babies. Its highly appericated.
I am so glad this video was helpful and hoping your little man is doing well 😊
I'm an ICN nurse at a level 2 hospital in my area. During orientation I was chill but I'm off orientation for three weeks now and I'm finding myself more nervous than before. A lot of that nervousness is coming from me not feeling totally prepared because I don't know everything yet. I'm still learning as I go. Nursery nurses attend all deliveries at this hospital and during labor I get so anxious if the baby is in distress. Lord. It's a slow process but every shift I work I learn something new. What I find is hard for me now is the APGAR scoring at 1 & 5 mins & training my mind to be automatic in an emergency. Sometimes a baby's cry will sound weaker than others and the more deliveries I attend the easier it is to tell but I still second guess myself on the scoring and I need to be straight in what it is I'm seeing. As for emergencies it takes my mind a minute to process what's happening and a minute is too much time wasted 😩 I just want to be better!
What you are feeling is very normal and the only way to get better is with time and more exposure. It took me at least 1 year to feel comfortable just handling my own patient assignments and so I totally understand the feeling of wanting to be better and know what you’re doing. But trust the process and continue to take every day as a learning opportunity. You got this 🙌🏼
I think this was the most informative one I watched and I really liked it! My ultimate goal in Nursing is to become an Nicu nurse, so I really really liked this Vlog I see that it’s two years. Going to check and see if you’re still making them.
Check out my new day in my life as a nicu nurse, DAY SHIFT edition!! 🥰 give me some love by commenting on that video 😊 and check out my nicu guidebook! nicunursetiff.wixsite.com/tiffanyrn/nicu-guidebook
Hello Tiffany! I will be starting the nursing program in the fall and I’m so ready! My passion is NICU and I watch these type of videos on a daily basis. Looking forward to more helpful videos!
Great! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊
I’m a nursing student currently exploring my options, I thought I loved icu but currently loving maternal-child nursing, and I think NICU may be on my radar!
Thank you for sharing this. I just found your channel. I’m aspiring to become a NICU nurse. I was in physical therapy and changed my major over to nursing. Nursing seems to be my calling. While I was working at the hospital, I got to witness surgeries and feel in love. Now, it seems the NICU may be in my path.
Love your content and how thorough you are.. I’m going to binge all the other videos! ♥️♥️♥️
Aw yay I’m glad you found your calling. Thanks for the support 🥰
thank you for this. alot of day in the life videos are just them getting ready to go to work and not explaining
I’m glad it was helpful! 🥰
I’m aspiring to be a NICU nurse. This was so helpful. Thank you

Thanks for watching ☺️
My son was in the NICU for 92 days born at 27 weeks. I’m currently in school to be a Nurse and I want to be a NICU nurse so badly you guys inspired me so much ❤️❤️
I'm a third semester junior nursing student and I'm really considering NICU. This made me feel better about my choice!
I am currently a medical/cardiac RN studying to be a midwife. But i start my dream position as a NICU RN in the same hospital and NICU that my brother, sister and I (triplets) spent months in when we were born at the end of the month! I am beyond grateful and excited!
I'm only in my freshman year of highschool and this is something I've been wanting to do forever 💕 I love babies and I can't wait to pursue this :)
Same I’m a freshman too and want to be in NICU!
Same ! I’m a sophomore tho🙂
This video really helped and you are a good NICU nurse. My son is currently in the NICU and we have been having many issues since he is about to be discharged
Loved this !! Very informative!
I graduate next month and have been praying I get a nicu residency. Your video was very helpful because in peds we couldn’t shadow a nicu nurse or even go in because of covid.
Loved this video! You helped me understand medicine and nursing, which is the field I want to go into. I am subscribed!
i am so glad this video was helpful! good luck to you on your path to nursing!

Hi Tiffany,
I found your channel from your comment on Miki Rai's channel. I find nursing content fascinating. I enjoyed watching this video where you take us along with you to work. You produce interesting content, which is why I subscribed. Nurses are my favorite people.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed watching my video 😄
Very informative and encouraging! Thanks Sis! G-D Bless ♥️
Im also a senior in high-school and i’ve been struggling to figure out what field of nursing i wanted to specialize in, and ur video was very helpful
Your video was so helpful ! Thank you 😊
So glad I seen this channel. I am a sophomore in college and just passed my teas and had my interview with the nursing directors and I’m currently waiting if I got in. I’m very interested in becoming a NICU nurse :)

What challenges do you face everyday ?
@@em4952 every day is a learning opportunity and there’s always new obstacles to overcome. There’s things that I may not understand or see the full picture of. But I am glad to have an amazing team that is willing to help guide and teach me ☺️
Same, I have been interested in nicu for a couple of years now :)
I am NICU nurse and having 9 years experience .I would like join in your hospital..kindly guide me

Rion Stallworth glad it was helpful 😍

So, from the time of this comment, you should have graduated. Are you still considering nursing? For me, I start my second year of college and begin the nursing program this Fall:)
I’m 1st hear nursing student, IM GOING THROUGH IT. I have as depression, anxiety and it’s getting really hard to stay motivated. Im watching this video to keep me on track, remind me why I’m doing this!
You got this 🙌🏼
@@TiffanyRNnicunursetiff Aw thank you so much!
You need to push through the tough stuff to reap the rewards! I had a nursing professor many years ago that said, “If we were perfect we’d be in heaven!”
hi! i really loved the video bc I would love to work as a nicu nurse one day. are you ever planning on making a video about how you got into nursing school?? (gpa, volunteer hrs, shadowing, etc.) thank u!!!!!!! love from Seattle 💗💗💗

Jenna Givens so excited for you! Good luck on your journey 😊❤️
I’m a fellow nurse and I’m so curious about working in the NICU, thank you for sharing!!

Thank you very much! This is very helpful ❤️
Thank you! This was very helpful
My respect to you.... I am former ER nurse....so difficult taking care really young ones.....nerve wrecking......... blessings
I just graduated from nursing school. My ER nurse residency got postponed/canceled for the summer so while waiting for a fall start date I am doing pediatric home health as a nurse and my ER is letting me continue as PRN as an ER tech!
Wow congratulations!! Sorry to hear that your residency got postponed 😢 hope all goes well!! 😊💕
You are my hero. I am pediatric and LVN and wanted my ultimate dream in life is to become Niccu nurse
That’s so awesome!! Hopefully you get the opportunity one day. Keep chasing the dream 🙌🏼

That’s awesome! Good luck to you 😁👍🏻
thx sm for this video!! currently in undergrad major in philosophy but thinking about applying for a MSN
Great video!
So tiny and precious :( ♥ it was an interesting video and very informative. I don't think I could handle it though if the little one didn't make it. I'd cry all night/day.
im 15, my goal in life is becoming a neonatal nurse. im already certified in CPR and in the medical program at school. Really can't wait to be in the medical field
I graduate nursing school next may 🥰 definitely want to do nicu!
Nice meeting you here! Just found you on Instagram and now here on TH-cam!
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Love Ur video very formal thank u! I'm going to be a neonatal nurse as well have currently just got a place in college and will go onto uni to study child's nursing then specialise into neonatal nursing! Please can you do a video on your journey to becoming a NICU nurse, like did u go to uni? What A Levels you took? Were you a nurse before hand? This would be so helpful for those who want to do the job you do! That's only if you have time, u must be really busy. Your such an amazing person ♥️♥️
I have a video called “how to become a nicu nurse” which talks about my journey into becoming a nicu nurse. Check it out! 🤗
Rule Number One- NURSES RULE! Rule Number Two- In Case of Doubt, Refer To Rule Number One! ALWAYS!
Thank You For Doing What You Do! 😇✌️🇺🇸♥️
Thank you for this video! It’s amazing! I’ve heard about different levels in the NICU, and I was just wondering if each level has a different pay. I’m also wondering if the NICU nurses can work at the different levels whenever they are needed, or if they typically stay at the same level. Thank you and I love your content! Keep it up!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Allison Postema nope different level just means different kinds of patients. Higher levels like level 3 and 4 tend to take on more sicker kids. And if you want more critical care then I would stick to the higher levels. Level 1-2 tend to be nursery type babies that are stable and feeder growers. Every hospital is assigned a level depending on the acuity and so if you want lower or higher levels then you need to go to a different hospital
So I am 16 and I am so obsessed with being a neonatologist and the reason y I want to be one is because I love kids almost every kid I know was practically raised by me from. A baby to a toddler so that inspired me more and I know a lot about pregnancy so I think I am good for this career
Hi Tiffany! Love this thorough video! A lot of insights! I’ve never heard of a milk tech before! Very cool! I’m just wondering which hospital is this in CA? I wanna apply there as well 😆 thank you!
Sorry I can’t disclose where this is in the comments but you can DM me on insta. And yes milk techs are the best!! 😊
I am an aspiring nurse in my senior year of high school. I plan on starting my AS in nursing next year and volunteering at a hospital in January.
Amazing! Good luck to you!! 🙌🏼
i’m a junior in HS, and i’m taking ekg classes right now this is my first semester and next semester we are doing phlebotomy. My dream job has always been to be a NICU RN and watching your video just inspired me so much🥺💗
Fabiola Palacios thank you so much! Good luck to you and hopefully you can do nicu one day 🥰
Great video Tiffany! Im a nursing student in Canada and I currently am taking speciality courses in order to become a NICU nurse here :) where did you get your grey sweater from? It's sooooo cute!
Sarah Piva wow congrats! How exciting!! I got my sweater on Etsy 😊
Much love for our NICU nurses. I work in high risk mother baby and we get to know our nicu team well. Who knows, maybe that's where I'll end up next!
I just made the same switch!
I just started nursing school and I’m looking into neonatal nursing and your channel really helps
I’m glad!! Thank you 😊
Can we get an updated night shift routine in the NICU? 💕
I’m only in the 8th grade and I’ve been wanting to be a nurse forever and I have been very passionate about being a nurse
That’s so amazing! Good luck to you 🥰👍🏻
I am working on my ged. aspiring to be a nurse. Really thinking about a NICU nurse!
Very informative...
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
I just transferred to the NICU from the pediatric CVICU
Hi!! Loved your video. I have two questions did you start on NICU? I am currently an RN on a med surg floor but I would love to be in the NICU. How much experienced do I need before trying to transfer? The second question is what kind of diagnoses do you see? Thank you so much for any tips/advice!
Hi! I just found and love your channel. Do you remember how this baby ended up doing? Did they get to go home soon after this? I hope they’re well!
