Reflective questions at the end of each story and a section in the back of the book for reflective journaling provide readers with ample opportunities to process their feelings. Additionally, seven case studies include extensive content, which can be utilized within any course.

NICU Nursing Stories is the ideal supplementary resource for courses and programs in nursing and those outside of nursing education looking to get a glimpse of a day in the life of a NICU nurse.
