Hey everyone! New pre-nursing student here, wanting to specialize in neonatal care. I just wanted to know if any of you could explain to me the steps involved in becoming a neonatal nurse? What's the next process after I get my bachelor's? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, don't worry about specializing until you're in your final semester of the nursing program. And be open-minded. NICU tends to be a competitive unit, so it can be a struggle for new grads to find positions. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also interesting in NICU nursing, and they have been very helpful. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
