The Neonatal Nursing major prepares the graduate
for advanced nursing practice as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner or Clinical
Nurse Specialist. In either role, the Neonatal Nurse provides acute
care to neonates from birth through their follow-up needs. Clinical
experience is gained in greater Cincinnati level II and III nurseries
and high-risk follow up clinics. The program shares some experiences
with pediatric, women’s health, and nurse-midwifery programs.
Neonatal Nurse Practitioner students are eligible for national certification.
Graduates have been very successful on the certification exam.
Two years of NICU experience is required for students
before entering the clinical component of the major.
