Wow, thanks! So basically just get into a school... you make it sound so simple.. well not simple in that it will be a breeze to get by, but to just become an RN you can choose from many different specialties. With me I have always wanted to work with babies... so I think I will take your advice and try to get into the postpartum mother/baby care... can anyone tell me more about the exams and whatnot for licensure? Like how long is it time wise, do you have to keep taking a license exam every so years...etc.. Thanks Trish

Yeah, I was thinking about that. I wasn't sure because I read somewhere that there is supposed to be a decrease of Postpartum and Newborn Baby Nurses needed, because of the short time they spend at the hospital. I'm pretty sure they are needed though right? Does anyone know how I would go about becoming a postpartum/nursery nurse? Education wise, etc..

I know there are neonatal nurses, which deal with the premature babies, high risk, etc... but what are some other infant related nurse careers? I would love to have a career as a nurse working with infants, but I don't think NICU is for me, and would love to know what other infant areas there to work in? Thanks Trish
