As a parent, I have yet to do Elf on the Shelf, but as a child life specialist it is a MUST for fun in the hospital! Enjoy these pictures and I hope it inspires you to spread cheer … no matter where you are!
Time to clock in!
Delivering goodies from our friends at Project Sunshine!
They said get out of bed…
Incentive Spirometry!
Helping prep for meds on my buddy’s PICC line!
The closest I get to the north pole during daytime hours…
Now THAT’s how to decorate a mask
Pill swallowing practice with… CANDY
My favorite
I-Spy game
Which button gets my NURSE in here?!
NPO break!
They said “hang fluids?!”
Holding the door open for staff!
Trying to blend in….
Been waiting on that post-surgery poop…
Helping with linens… they don’t fold themselves!
Letters to Santa are easy from the dictation room.
CT scan time!
Reading in the playroom
Always communicate with my staff!!
I think I’ll be here a while…
Trying to stay at that ZERO on the painscale.
Quick neb treatment from my fav RT
Brush my what?!
Pulse OX check!
Quick NICU stop for some sweet-ease.
And … my happy place
