Neonatal NP info?

Specialties NP

Published

Hi! I really want to become a neonatal NP, however, I'm rather confused on programs and the route to do that. I've been a paramedic for 4 years, and am going to get my BSN. That part's all well and good. The next step is where my research has become really confusing. I'm in MI, so the only schools I've looked at have been here. Do I need to attend a program where they offer a speciality in neo care? What if all the school offers is an MSN? (i'm assuming that doesn't count....) Any information on what I need to do and how to do it would be soooooooooooo greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all your info! YAY, another medic! I pretty much know I want to do critical care pediatrics, whether that's neo or peds I'm not sure yet. That mandatory 2 yrs is going to be extremely informative and helpful (hopefully!). I am somewhat familiar with the role of an NNP because I've driven the Neonatal Transport Team that operates of DeVos Children's (I live in GR). Is there a PICU NP? I know there's an Acute Care Ped track, but I don't know if that's CC or Emergency.
