Job Shadowing Part 2

Now that im finally able to get back on Ill talk more about the job shadowing project. I mentioned that i wanted to be a NICU nurse when i get older.
Well becuz of the swine flu thats going around NO ONE is allowed to be in the hospital. Last monday morning they made a law saying that no one under the age of 18 can be in the Pediatric, Maternal, or NICU area of the hospital. Well on thursday afternoon they set a law saying no one whats so ever can be in the hospital.
My friends cousin went to the hospital thursday morning because of seizures. They ended up kicking her parents and sister out of the hospital because they were enforcing that law. First of all she is only 12 or 13 and she is in a lot of pain and now she cant even see her parents. i dont think thats right. She ended up having 21 seizures in 1 day which is definitley not good.
Now i am looking for somewhere to shadow but everywhere i wanna shadow they are enforcing laws and im only 14 so they wont let me in. in the middle of january i have to turn in a long paper explaining what i shadow, y i shadowed that specific place and if i liked it or not. if i dont get that turned in then i get a 0 on it, which counts 4 times, and then ill probably fail english which is what that grade goes into.

  1. I just want to say that I think it is AWESOME that you want to be a NICU nurse. I am still in touch with a couple of my son's NICU nurses from when he was at Children's Hospital in Little Rock. They are such special people to me!
