The Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) program prepares experienced neonatal ICU nurses to practice as NNPs in acute care and community settings. Graduates are prepared to take the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner examination as offered by the National Certification Corporation and to be recognized as advanced practice nurses by the Board of Nursing. Most states (including Texas) require graduates to pass the NNP certification exam prior to applying for licensure.
Many NNPs practice in neonatal intensive care units where they manage the care of premature and ill newborns. They often attend high risk deliveries and may serve as members of transport teams. NNPs may also manage the care of well newborns after birth and can practice in primary care settings serving chronically ill infants and children (up to 2 years of age) who were born prematurely and/or require developmental follow-up care.
