What do Neonatal Nurse Practitioners do?
Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NNPs) provide primary, acute, chronic, and critical care for infants, primarily in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), from birth to two years of age.
They perform advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, manage overall patient care, order medications, and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to support patients and their families.
To become an NNP, one typically needs a BSN and an MSN or DNP degree, followed by national certification, which is often required for practice in the United States.
What they do
Advanced Patient Care: NNPs specialize in the care of high-risk newborns, managing conditions related to prematurity, low birth weight, and other complications.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures: They are trained to perform advanced procedures, including intubating infants, inserting IV lines, and interpreting diagnostic tests such as X-rays and laboratory results.
Team Collaboration: NNPs work collaboratively with other medical professionals, physicians, and parents to ensure comprehensive patient care.
Education and Support: They also play a crucial role in educating parents and providing emotional support, helping them navigate the uncertainties and concerns that come with caring for a newborn with complex health needs.
Environment
- The majority of NNPs work in various settings within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
- They can also be found in labor and delivery units, well-baby units, outpatient clinics, and transport services.
How to Become an NNP
- Education: Aspiring NNPs typically start with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and then pursue a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree with a neonatal focus.
- Accreditation: NNP programs are accredited by reputable bodies, including the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
- Certification: After completing an accredited program, graduates are eligible to take the NNP Certification Examination through the National Certification Corporation (NCC).
- Licensure and Credentialing: Upon passing the exam, NNPs earn the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified (NNP-BC) credential, which is often a requirement for state practice.
