What are tha needs to become a neonatal nurse?


something that got to do with babys

Well first you might want to talk to a academic advisor. The best place to start is your local community college and speak with an advisor. The first degree you have to get is a BSN degree-Bachelor od science Nursing degree. That may take about two years and you may need to complete a few pre reqs to get into a BSN program. Then I would reccomed you take the exam to become a Registered Nurse that way you are at a higher advantage of becoming a Neonatal nurse. The whole process could take up to 3 or more years to become the nurse you want. It depends how many years you been out of high school because some colleges would only count any math classes you have taken in the last 5 years. Then it depends if you have and of the classes completed already. When you go to the college academic advisor bring a copy of all the transcripts you have from previous colleges and the hig school you attended. It depends if you have your BSN degree because you can maybe just attend any college but first speak to an academic advisor first. Best of Luck.

basically it is working with babies

My aunt is a nurse and she worked in the neonatal unit years ago. Neonatal means the first 28 days of life.
