I swear I’m nice in real life, I just have major RBF 🫣.

What things would you tell someone as NICU nurse if you weren’t afraid to hurt their feelings?

11/07/2025

Time for a quick review of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, or CDH!
✨ What is CDH? CDH occurs when there is a hernia, or hole, in the diaphragm present at birth. As a result, abdominal organs herniate into the chest, leaving less space for development of the lungs and pulmonary vessels. In addition, the pulmonary vessels have abnormally thick walls, increasing the risk for pulmonary hypertension.
🤍 Patients with CDH can be difficult to oxygenate and ventilate. Goals of treatment include minimizing the risk of ventilator associated lung injury (VALI) and optimizing oxygenation and ventilation. Patients may require iNO or ECMO.
🫁 Signs and symptoms include cyanosis, decreased breath sounds on the affected side, respiratory distress, scaphoid abdomen and shifted heart sounds.
💜 What questions do you have about CDH? Let’s learn together!

Tell me about your unit/hospital float policy - where can NICU nurses float? Who is eligible (or ineligible) to float? Let’s learn about each other’s units!

Friends, I’d love to hear about your routines, rituals, or habits for self-care after a rough shift!

This post is brought to you by today’s shift, in which I got no break and ran to an emergency delivery while shoveling yogurt in my mouth. I wish my area had break nurses like California!

I love a good snuggle, but holy airball there’s so much more to being a NICU nurse than cuddling!

(…. And no, I do NOT intubate patients at my job. The picture of me intubating is from a class that a few of my colleagues and I attended about our simulation manikins!)
