The NICU Heroes podcast was created exclusively for NICU professionals, helping them to better understand, support, and nurture the entire NICU family. NICU parents are often as fragile as their baby, requiring patience, guidance, and encouragement to ensure they are mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared to endure the pressure of a NICU stay and meet the on-going needs of their medically fragile child, post-discharge. Select episodes have been approved for one contact hour of nursing continuing education and are denoted in the episode's show notes.
