SMART gives books to UTMB's NICU for Read-a-thon. "This truly brings nursing back into being a nurse. Sometimes we get so caught up in checking off our to-do list of nursing skills, we forget how much of an impact we have to the infant as a whole. Treating and caring for infants in their most vulnerable state and being able to connect with them is absolutely magical."
