Day 20: 26 Days of March of Dimes

Day 20: NICU Nursing

Another weekend post about March of Dimes, another Pinterest Palooza!  This time, the focus is NICU nursing!  We would be so lost with out the warriors of this wonderful profession! Here is a GREAT article "Dear NICU Nurse" to read that we came across last week.  It really touched our hearts, and we hope it can give you a glimpse into the lives of NICU parents and NICU nurses.

And then, on to the PINS!  (Click on each thumbnail to see all the pinned goodness!)

75 Years - Polio Vaccine

1946

 

During devastating polio epidemics, the March of Dimes paid for and transported thousands of iron lungs to help patients breathe when their own muscles were weakened or paralyzed. 

1949

 

The March of Dimes funded Dr. Jonas Salk whose research led to a “safe, effective and potent” polio vaccine in 1955 and saved thousands of lives. The March of Dimes also funded Dr. Albert Sabin’s work on an oral vaccine licensed in 1962.

 

1954

 

The March of Dimes organized testing of the Salk polio vaccine with 1.8 million schoolchildren who became known as “Polio Pioneers” and were part of the largest peacetime mobilization of volunteers in our history.

2011

 

Today, vaccines protect children from polio and 14 other serious diseases, including chickenpox, rubella, the flu and hepatitis.
