the work of farmworkers and laborers on farms and ranches takes place outdoors in all kinds of weather and is physical in nature. Harvesting fruits and vegetables, for example, may require much bending, stooping, and lifting. Workers may lack adequate sanitation facilities while working in the field, and their drinking water may be limited.Animal breeders spend most of their time outdoors around animals.Work also is seasonal for farmworkers in nurseries; spring and summer are the busiest times of the year. Greenhouse workers enjoy relatively comfortable working conditions while tending to plants indoors. Federal meat inspectors may work in highly mechanized plants or with poultry or livestock in confined areas with extremely cold temperatures and slippery floors. |

Entry-level requirements for neonatal nurses vary from institution to institution. Some hospitals or medical centers may require one year of adult health or medical surgical nursing, while other health care providers hire registered nurses after graduation from an accredited school or college of nursing who have passed state board of nursing (NCLEX) exams for licensure. The type and length of nursing experience also varies from one institution to another, but many require no previous experience.
To become a neonatal nurse, an individual must first earn a RN degree. From there, one can obtain a Master's Degree in the specialty Neonatal Nursing. But by far, the most common way that nurses become Neonatal Nurses is by working in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Special Care Nursery, or Level I Nursery. |
| Required Personality Traits or Skills |
Requirements for neonatal nurses are dictated by the particular institution(s) at which they practice. Most institutions use a practice skills list to assess the nurse's ability in giving medications, performing math calculations, starting and maintaining intravenous lines, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and any additional skills and knowledge needed for direct infant care. These additional skills could include suctioning, gavage feedings, and ventilator care, among others. |
| Job Outlook, National and/or Regional |
Because there are nearly 40,000 low birth weight babies born in this country annually, there is a growing market for the neonatal nurse. The future will continue to be strong and steady for neonatal nurses. |
| Associations or Professional Organizations |
National Association of Neonatal Nurses |
| Description of the Type of Work Performed |
A neonatal staff nurse generally works in either a Level I, II, or III nursery.
A Level I nursery is traditionally a nursery for healthy newborns. These types of nurseries are all but nonexistent now, because today mothers and babies generally have very short hospital stays and often share the same room.
A Level II nursery is an intermediate care or special care nursery in which the babies may be premature or suffering from an illness. These babies may need supplemental oxygen, intravenous therapy, specialized feedings, or more time to mature before discharge.
The Level III nursery is a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which is a tertiary care center that admits all neonates (newborn infants in the first six weeks of life) who cannot be treated in either of the other two nursery levels. These babies may be small for their age, premature, or sick full-term infants who require high technology care, such as ventilators, special equipment or incubators, or surgery. Generally, Level III units are located in large general hospitals or in specialized children's hospitals. Neonatal nurses provide direct patient care to infants in these units. |
