I would like to be a nurse in the NICU as of now. Our teacher says as we go through the program, our idea of what we would like to pursue might change. But as of now a NICU nurse. :) And I do plan to intern. It's required for the technical diploma I am working toward.

As of now I am a junior in high school enrolled in a dual credit health science program. The program is 2 years long and as a junior we have medical terminology, anatomy and health careers. Next year we will be doing clinicals. My question is, after highschool, should I get my BSN or associate or another degree? I have been heavy in researching colleges but there is so much information to take in. I live in Indiana and plan to go to college here. Which college would be the best if I would like to get into the NICU? Your help would be very appreciated! I just need help figuring out which paths to take. Thank you!

Hello! I'm a sophomore in high school and have known for quite a while that I would love to be a neonatal nurse. I know that you have your BSN and also saw on this website ( http://www.allnursingschools.com/nursing-careers/career/neonatal-nursing ) that you need to have a neonatal resuscitation. The website only listed a handful of schools that you can get it in and none of them are very close to me. So I was just wondering if you have to go to a school that offers a neonatal degree or take an online class. Also if you have any tips for me I would love to hear them! Thank you for your help! - Sarah
