Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

A Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) is an advanced healthcare professional who specializes in caring for newborn babies, especially those who are premature or have health issues. They have extensive training beyond registered nursing, enabling them to assess, diagnose, and treat infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) or nurseries. NNPs work closely with doctors and families to provide specialized medical care, support, and education to ensure the best possible outcomes for vulnerable newborns. They play a crucial role in managing complex health conditions and promoting healthy development from birth.
