Neonatal nurse specialists work with newborn babies who are fragile at birth due to a variety of causes. They may have been born premature or born with birth defects, infection, surgical problems, or heart abnormalities. Following their birth, Neonatal nurses also provide care for healthy newborn babies immediately following their birth.

The demand for neonatal nurses continues to rise. Any hospital's expertise and education can satisfy the needs of the youngest, most fragile, and critical patients. Many people need 24-hour care and concern. Although most neonatal babies spend a month or two in the hospital, some babies need longer-term care. The neonatal nurse provides their care for the duration of the hospitalization. Some neonatal nurses provide services beyond the neonatal period.

The day honors their contributions and contributions to the field. It's also a way to encourage others interested in the field to take a closer look. With the increasing demand for certified neonatal nurses, the more students step up to this rewarding career.
