What is the full job description of a neonatal register nurses?


What is the full job description of a neonatal register nurses?

I don't know about a full job description, but both small hospitals where I had clinicals hired LPN's rather than RN's for neonatal nurses. Neither of these hospitals had NICU's, so there wasn't a need for a particularly high level of training to work in the nursery.

Neonatal nurses did newborn assessments, administered the first Hep B vaccine, performed a hearing test, did the heel stick for genetic testing, formula fed babies who weren't rooming in with their moms, and gave really bad breastfeeding advice. Hopefully other hospitals (ones that are non-rural!) have better resources and more well-trained staff.
