ICS

so I know I haven't written in for absolutely ever, but I feel like I have been so so busy. and I was sick for a week. I just wanted to write about how amazing my new job is. I love going to work and getting to work with my kiddos. generally you get a lot of the same kids each time you work because they are in the hospital for a long time and the unit puts you on the same pod (nurses desk + 4- 8 patient rooms) you were on before. I love all the kids I work with. Most of them are watching tv, playing video games, doing crafts or just playing. I love playing with them and talking with the families. You get to know the kids and the parents so much. One little 2 year old girl (so adorable i wish i had a picture but i'm sure i'm not allowed lol) blows me kisses and wants to help me put on her blood pressure cuff and pulse oximeter. I can't even write down all the cute moments I have had with the kids, it would take up too much space :)
Working on this unit has shown me how resilient children are and how they just want to be kids even though they are so sick. they just want to play and have you tickle them and do everything that other little kids would want. I love working in pediatrics - they are so strong.
