Find the right school for you
When considering the neonatal nurse practitioners programs in Georgia that you can enroll in, it is important to understand that the Georgia Board of Nursing requires practitioners to have obtained at least master’s degree in nursing and to have obtained national certification. It is also important to note that the Georgia Board of Nursing also requires current neonatal resuscitation certification as well.
The Master’s of Science in Nursing degree is an advanced practice neonatal nursing program. This program will prepare you to become licensed and certified as a nurse practitioner specializing in neonatal care.
