A nurse specializing in newborns
Neonatal nurses work in intensive care units, where they care for infants who are at risk of complications and require specialized care. Premature babies, as well as those born with cardiac or other birth defects, genetic conditions, or drug addiction, fall into this category. Neonatal nurses typically care for these infants until they are discharged from the hospital, but in some cases, they will provide care beyond the newborn stage.

To Become One, Follow These Steps: A valid RN license and at least an associate degree are required for a neonatal nursing career, though more competitive positions require a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN). All neonatal nurses must be certified by the Neonatal Resuscitation Program. Most pursue additional certifications, such as Low-Risk Neonatal Nursing and Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing. This Nursing Specialty Quiz will help you remember certain details.

Nursing Specialty Quiz

Midwifery Nurse

Advanced training Nurse-midwives are registered nurses who specialize in pregnancy, prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum recovery. Nurse-midwives care for patients from the time they go into labor until they give birth and provide postpartum support. While these nurses are primarily concerned with pregnancy care, they may also provide general services to women, such as gynecological reproductive and preventive healthcare.

How to Become One: There are several paths to licensure for nurse-midwives. Prospective nurse-midwives who already have a bachelor’s degree in nursing and an RN license may pursue a master’s degree or a doctorate in nursing. Some MSN programs accept RNs who do not have a bachelor’s degree. Students with non-nursing bachelor’s degrees are admitted to direct-entry MSN programs. Nurses must earn the Certified Nurse Midwife credential after completing their graduate training, which is administered by the American Midwifery Certification Board.

Nurse Practitioner

A master’s or doctor of nursing degree in a specialized area of nursing practice is required for this type of APRN. Clinical nurses can specialize in pediatrics, geriatrics, critical or emergency care, specific disease care (such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease), rehabilitation, mental health, pain management, or wound care.

How to Become One: After obtaining their RN license and gaining some work experience, most clinical nurses enroll in an MSN program. Clinical nurses, like other APRNs, can choose from a variety of educational paths based on their previous degrees and training. While no specialized certification is required to practice in the field, many clinical nurses pursue specialized credentials in order to advance in their careers and earn higher salaries. The American Nurses Credentialing Center offers a variety of certifications in gerontology, cardiovascular disease, oncology, and other areas of practice.

About the quiz

Nurse in Infection Control/Prevention

Infection prevention and control Infections, diseases, and viruses are identified, monitored, and managed by nurses. These professionals, who are typically registered nurses, have played an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic, as healthcare systems require specialized workers to focus on patient case reporting and widespread infection prevention. They work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and community health centers.

To Become One, Follow These Steps: Candidates must obtain the Certification in Infection Prevention and Control (CIC) from the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology in order to pursue this specialty. The CIC credential requires an associate or bachelor’s degree in nursing, at least two years of RN experience, and sufficient experience working with infectious diseases (about two years).

Nurse at School

School nurses play an important but underserved role in elementary, middle, and high schools. They treat and provide first aid to ill or injured students, among other things. School nurses also provide emergency care, collect health data, conduct health screenings, and assist students with chronic diseases.

How to Become One: School nurses must be registered nurses (RNs) before they can work in schools. Although this qualification can be obtained with an associate degree, the National Association of School Nurses recommends that they obtain a BSN instead. Although school nurses do not need specialty certification, they can improve their qualifications by earning credentials from the National Board for Certification of School Nurses.
