Challenging NICU Parents: How to Deal as Told by NICU Parents Themselves: 1.0 CE
Three graduate NICU parents will guide attendees on a visual journey of the NICU experience through the eyes of a parent, from admission through discharge. The panelists will explore specific parent-nurse scenarios in the NICU and provide teachable techniques and strategies for care teams to provide the practical and emotional support NICU parents need. When bedside nurses are equipped and empowered to deliver psychosocial support to families, families are better able to process their experience, participate in the care of the baby, and emerge from the NICU as powerful advocates for their children.
