Neonatal Nurses
Neonatal nurses are specialized healthcare professionals who care for newborns, particularly those who are ill or born prematurely. They work in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and are trained to monitor vital signs, administer medications, and provide support to both infants and their families. Their role is crucial in ensuring the health and development of vulnerable newborns.
These nurses collaborate with a team of healthcare providers, including pediatricians and respiratory therapists, to create and implement care plans. They also educate parents about their baby's condition and care needs, helping to ease concerns during a challenging time.
