What is the difference between a baby nurse and a newborn care specialist?
A baby nurse is a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN) whose specialty is caring for infants with medical conditions. Although a newborn care specialist can administer medications and treatments prescribed or recommended by a physician, a baby nurse is recommended in situations in which the baby’s condition is life-threatening, the treatment regimen is invasive or the risk of complication is great.
