Neonatal Working Hours. Neonatal nurses typically work 40 hours per week. Overtime may be required due to the severity of the patients they treat and the inability to leave patients' unattended. Nurse coverage is a priority in neonatal units, so long working hours will be infrequent.
Many neonatal nurses also work as advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), such as neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs) and neonatal clinical nurse specialists (CNSs). Advanced practice registered nurses have specialized knowledge and may provide direct care to patients, educate staff or conduct research.
