Whats the difference between Neonatal and Prenatal nurses?
Neonatal nurses work with newborn babies that are premature or ill. Prenatal nurses (or midwives) work with expectant mothers during preganacy and birth, and newborns following birth. If you don’t want to work with premature babies, midwifery is the better option for you. However Midwifery requires at least 3 years study at University to become qualified, and also that much of your work will be with the pregnant mothers rather than babies. However you could work as a health care assistant on a midwifery ward, I worked on a post-natal ward (after birth) as a HCA and spent much time with the babies and mothers.
