Episode 44
We all have areas of nursing that we hope to work in someday. Some of us achieve those dreams and never want to leave. Others work tirelessly, get the job of their dream only to find out that unit is more like a nightmare and leave discouraged. Today's guest falls into another group. Those who fully expect to end up in one area of nursing only to find their true passion somewhere unexpected. Keeley was determined to become a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) until she did her preceptorship in the NICU and fell in love with the work and the patients there.
Our nursing dreams do not always turn out the way we plan them, sometimes they turn out better, as is the case for Keeley.

Tune in to have your questions about life as a NICU nurse answered!
