Micro premie graduates from nursing school and will work at same NICU that cared for her

 

Wendy Grossman Kantor reported on this story for People.

"This summer, Hayley Good will start working as a nurse in the same NICU she spent time in as a micro-preemie."

“I grew up knowing how the nurses saved my life,” Good, 22, who graduated with a degree in nursing in May, tells PEOPLE. “I was told that they tirelessly worked and advocated for me, even though they weren't even sure if I was going to survive."

"Now, she's looking forward to being able to share her unique perspective about what life can look like after the NICU with the parents of her patients."

“Being able to be that hope and light and just walk through the hardest part of their life with them is just very special,” she says.

"For about four and a half months, Good was in the NICU at Ohio State University Medical Center and also at the NICU at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where she had heart surgery shortly after she was born."

"She grew up knowing about the loving NICU nurses who not only took care of her and saved her, but also comforted and supported her entire family."
