How to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner?

Specialties Advanced

Published

I am currently in my first semester at a Community College.

I recently decided that I want to become an NNP.

I don't know how to go about doing that though.

Can anyone give me steps or something that would help?

Basically I know I need to get my Bachelor's.

But then can I get a Master's to become an NP, then specialize in Neonatal?

Or do I have to go into a special program for NNP?

Also, not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but a masters is a graduate degree, so you must have already completed a bachelors degree. If you're at a CC you will need to transfer to complete your BSN before you can apply for a graduate program, unless your CC offers 4 year degrees. Or you could try an ADN-MSN bridge program.
