New Neonatal Nurse Online Community Helps Answer Questions Regarding Career

Online, August 19, 2012 (Newswire.com) - When a child is born in a hospital, a doctor is responsible for the main task of helping deliver the baby. When the bundle of joy has finally arrived, he or she is brought under the care of a neonatal nurse, a registered nurse who specializes in providing nursing care for newborns. Most neonatal nurses care for infants until they are released from the hospital, but due to certain health problems, a neonatal nurse might provide nursing care much longer.

In the United States alone, more than 40,000 infants are born each year with low birth weights, but with the efforts of medical practitioners, survival rates are now 10 times better than a decade ago. With the ongoing presence of newborns, and the increasing number of parents who need assistance in providing professional extra care for their babies, neonatal nurses propose to be a promising opportunity.
