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.
Irrespective of the level of care, nurses have to work with the babyâs parents as well. It is one of their duties to provide health education to the parents on proper newborn care.
