The field of pediatrics and neonatology is concerned with the growth and development of newborns, infants, children and adolescents. Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics which involves the diagnosis, treatment and intensive care of infants in the first few months of life. Neonates born prematurely and infants who are unwell after delivery will be admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit.
A pediatrics/neonatal nurse assesses infants' and children's health problems and concerns, develops and implements nursing care plans, and maintains medical records. A pediatrics/neonatal nurse works closely with a team of healthcare providers to comprehensively care for infants and children as well as involve their parents in the decision making process. Nurses may provide education for parents on health maintenance and disease prevention.
A pediatrics/neonatal nurse typically administers care to patients in an inpatient, emergency or intensive care setting. Pediatrics/Neonatal nursing is practiced by nurses who have formal, post-secondary education and who function in highly autonomous and specialized roles.
