What Does a Registered Nurse Do?

A neonatal nurse is a healthcare professional who focuses on the care of newborn infants during the first weeks of their lives. These professionals typically provide focused care for newborns who are ill or premature in the NICU setting, but may also care for healthy infants in a newborn nursery. Neonatal nurses may serve as the bridge between the specialist and the parent when working with the newborn. Some of a neonatal nurse’s additional responsibilities may include:
  • Attending deliveries to assess infants or provide care immediately after birth
  • Providing basic care to infants after birth by weighing and measuring them, bathing them and monitoring their condition
  • Monitoring infants and providing specialized care after birth, including starting and maintaining IV lines, managing ventilators and assessing vital signs
  • Assisting doctors in the NICU with intensive care procedures using specialized equipment such as incubators, ventilators, surgery and other support equipment
  • Teaching new parents about caring for their newborn and helping mothers learn to breastfeed
