The aim of the Neonatal NP concentration is to prepare the neonatal nurse practitioner for a multifaceted role in ambulatory, intermediate and critical care settings. The neonatal nurse practitioner is prepared to provide, and/or collaborate in the provision of services, designed to deal with the health care needs of neonates and their families. The focus is the development of expert clinical competence and leadership. The ability to function as an educator, consultant, collaborator, and leader are integral parts of the Nurse Practitioner role. These competencies are developed throughout the curriculum. In Qu茅bec, the Neonatal NP title is Infirmi猫re praticienne sp茅cialis茅e en n茅onatalogie (IPSNN).
