More DescriptionFacilities providing neonatal healthcare should employ nurses who have the requisite knowledge and clinical skills to provide care to neonates. This education guide outlines the required didactic instruction and clinical skills verification for all neonatal nurses working in levels 1-4 nurseries. The education guide may be used for a structured orientation program or for the ongoing validation of competence. Didactic content and the clinical skills requiring verification will depend on the neonatal population served. The neonatal population can be described along a continuum (e.g., healthy, term neonates; late preterm infants; ill neonates; infants born at the threshold of viability with extremely low birth weights; and prematurity); changes and advances in neonatal care and technology; andindividual state nurse practice regulations, institutional policies and procedures, and professional-organization standards.A list of education resources is also provided.
