Duties of a Neonatal Nurse

Video Transcript

"My name is Concessa Hunziger. I am an LPN. I work for Heartland Occupational Medicine and a neonatal nurse is a nurse who works with premature babies or pretty much premature babies or babies that are having any problems or that are born with any birth defects or things like that that they take care of pretty much the critically ill babies that are born. That is generally what they do I mean they can take care of babies that are born generally 25 weeks gestation is about the earliest that a baby can be born and be viable and have a chance but that doesn't guarantee that they are going to have a chance. They do the best they can. That's all they can do but that is what they deal with is the really sick babies. Hopefully this helps you out with information in regards to a neonatal nurse."
