Neonatal Nurse PractitionerOverviewThe Neonatal Nurse Practitioner track in the graduate program prepares the nurse to function in an expanded leadership role in the delivery of comprehensive care to the normal and high-risk neonate and family in a variety of health care settings. The program emphasizes the development of advanced independent and collaborative assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation and interpersonal skills. The nurse practitioner focus prepares the graduate to assume responsibility for the direct management and primary care of the acutely ill neonate. Clinical practice takes place under the direct supervision of an attending neonatologist and/or neonatal nurse practitioner in the NICU and other high-risk clinical settings. The graduate also functions in the educator role with nursing staff and families and participates in clinical research. The program of study consists of one-third didactic classroom and two-thirds precepted clinical/laboratory experiences. Graduates are qualified to take the National Certification Corporation examination for neonatal nurse practitioners. More Information. . .
