Neonatal intensive care nurses are registered nurses who specialize in caring for newborn infants with serious health issues, including premature birth, infections, birth defects, heart anomalies, and other problems. NICU nurses monitor and care for premature or sick babies for weeks or even months, until they’re healthy enough to go home. They also support scared parents throughout the traumatic experience of birthing and caring for a premature or critically ill newborn.

Some healthcare employers may prefer neonatal intensive care unit nurses job candidates with Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), Registered Nurse Certified in Neonatal Intensive Care (RNC-NIC), Intensive Neonatal Care certification (INC), Neonatal Neuro-Intensive Care (C-NNIC), Acute/Critical Care Knowledge Professional (CCRN-K Neonatal), Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN-Neonatal), Care of the Extremely Low Birth Weight Neonate (C-ELBW) or Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety (ONQS), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN-Neonatal) validates your knowledge and skills as a neonatal intensive unit nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
