Pediatric nursing
-
The year was 1994. A nurse named Andrew Todd in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center NICU was looking for information on why he felt so overwhelmed while caring for dying babies. He found nothing. ⋯ Brian Carter, neonatologist and ethicist known for his work in perinatal ethics and palliative care. Together Ewing and Carter, neither of whom have ever met Andrew Todd, created an ongoing program to provide ethical and emotional support to those working in the NICU. Ewing and Carter describe their program here.
