Prematurity Lasts a Lifetime: The Journey Starts in the NICU
About this episode
The episode discusses the lifelong health implications of prematurity and the role of NICU nurses in supporting families.
In this episode of NANNcast, Jill is joined by Michelle M. Kelly, PhD, CRNP, FAANP to explore the lifelong health implications of prematurity. The conversation emphasizes the important role that NICU nurses and APRNs play, not only in providing exceptional care in the NICU but also in preparing families for life after the NICU. Dr. Kelly shares practical strategies for family education, discharge counseling, and long-term follow-up, helping nurses empower parents with the knowledge and resources they need as their child grows. Join us as we explore why prematurity is more than a neonatal diagnosis - it is the beginning of a lifelong journey.
