NICU Nurse In Decades-Old Photo Looks Familiar

A New Jersey couple's baby was delivered early, so he's in a neonatal ICU. The couple was looking at old photos and they discovered the current nurse also took care of the dad more than 30 years ago.

Sweet but ouch, 30 years hope she can retire soon! This coming from a fellow nurse planning to retire in 2020. My experience tells me she will be working until she physically can’.

There is 'loving your work', but there is also planning for your own future, and moving aside so a new generation can love it too.

I have to lean the other way. I say go for it as long as you're able. This person love's their job and may be lost without it. Some of kindest, most caring and understanding nurses I've met were in their 70s. They understood the connection made between their patients and themselves. I've watch doctors turn to them on how to care for an individual based solely on the time they spent with that individual. A quality learned from years on the job that a younger nurse just may not have yet. And yes, they really are a godsend.
