A Morning Assessment Monologue.

Abstract

This piece was written as a letter of admiration for NICU parents from a NICU nurse. A NICU parent is a special person tasked with one of the most terrifying and burdensome paths possible. Allowing strangers to care for your vulnerable and miraculous child is asking a lot of a person. NICU nurses and staff know this and feel this. Parents should know that they are rock stars. They deserve so much credit. This letter is a small way to give that credit.
