I've been a NICU nurse at a major Boston teaching hospital since 1994 and I absolutely cannot say enough about the wonderful opportunities that I have had to be a part of some of the most important moments babies' and their families' lives. Being a NICU nurse is truly an amazing experience! I am also a member of NANN, which is a great professional organization. However, I do have to say that I'm disappointed that this video features only one man who is a nurse, and no nurses of color. I also am wondering why NANN thought it was important to get commentary from an MD on what it is to be a NICU RN. Finally, I have an issue with the end statement about NICU nursing: "It's more than being 'just a nurse'". ALL nurses are important and vital to the health of our loved ones. I am grateful and impressed with the nursing care that my elderly parents are getting when they are hospitalized in the CCU and the Med-Surg floors at our Boston hospitals. There is no such thing as, "Just a nurse." K.Agostini, MSN, RN Brigham and Women's Hospital NICU

The prophet of Allah (God) made mandatory the practise of Taḥnīk (تَحْنِيكِ) for newborn babies, which is an Islamic ceremony of touching the lips of a newborn baby with honey, sweet juice or pressed dates. Originally the date was softened by mastication by the pious person and rubbed on the infant's palate.

The taḥnīk also *exercises the muscles of the mouth* and helps with the *circulation of blood* in the mouth - this may help the baby to be able to suck and take mother's milk. It is also credited to prevent *neonatal hypoglycemia* in newborn babies.

Now tell me. The western world has just acquired this knowledge. With all the gadgets and equipment and technology and professional knowledge, skills and team work - how did a man who neither knew how to read and write at the time of his prophethood, *know* such a thing? Among some many other miracles and prophecies of the future.

There is no god except Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger.

This is the truth.
This is the truth.
This is the truth.
