Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP-BC) is the designation for a neonatal nurse practitioner who has earned nursing board certification from the National Certification Corporation.

As early as 2015, becoming a Nurse Practitioner, may become a doctorate program. It seems as if there is a shortage of nurse practitioners and physicians are relying on them more and more in the healthcare field. With this need for more nurse practitioners, more advanced schooling will be involved. Another added essential is that the salaries of nurse practitioners will increase and they will have a more important role in the acute setting. The need for Neonatal Nurse Practitioners is increasing steadily in the United States and many tasks and responsibilities that Nurse Practitioners possess are similar to that of a physician's.
