The literature of neonatal nursing: stories from the turning points column.
The stories of neonatal care are a rich source of information, going beyond the typical clinical article to convey the meaning of nursing in this special environment. During its run, the Turning Points column in Neonatal Network gave nurses, doctors, and family members affected by the NICU an outlet to share their stories with others. The brief overview of the columns' contents provided in this article displays the wide variety of patient cases, workplace issues, and family situations encountered by neonatal nurses.
