Hi,
Neonatal nursing is a specialty field within pediatric nurse practitioner programs. Students can find Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) and post-master's certificate programs in this field. Three of the best colleges for neonatal nursing include the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), Vanderbilt University (VU), and Arizona State University. These schools offer graduate-level neonatal nursing programs for registered nurses and were distinguished by U.S. News & World Report for their educational offerings for 2019. If you would like to find more school you search online find others if you’re looking for one close to home. Hope this helps, Good Luck!

There's no specific college or college degree you need to become a nurse. After college you would apply to a nursing program, which many schools have. You wouldn't need to go to the same school for your nursing program, but any that you applied to.
Once you're in nursing school, you would have to try to become a neonatal nursing specialist, but I would keep your mind open to any specialization. Don't get set on just one in case you find something else in nursing school you love.

Hi Jessica,
It looks like Bri already provided you a nice overview of institutions, types of programs, and their requirements.
All that’s left is to find out if any of the institutions listed is a good fit. It’s a little challenging to definitively answer which school is best without knowing if you have an undergraduate or graduate degree or an RN, BSN or MSN. It really matters where your starting point is in this process to be able to direct you well.
With that said, consider starting with your interests:- why are you choosing this career, what do you see yourself doing in this field, and will any of these schools make you feel happy or satisfied in achieving this goal? Also, do you have a full picture of what these practitioners do? Have you looked on online or YouTube for testimonials?
Once you have solid answers to those questions, review the schools provided by Bri, and then sign up for their online or virtual information sessions.
The goal is to not only fit into what they are focusing on like research, but it is to see if they can stand up to your dreams and vision of yourself doing this job/ having this career. A major question should also be will they prepare you for your vision or dreams? The second is How? If they stand up to your needs, then make contact with the one or two organizations. If not, keep searching.
As an education consultant who assist students to get into colleges of their choice, I find that clients also like searching for schools and their programs with this free resource, Peterson‘s https://www.petersons.com/college-search.aspx
It’s a great resource for clients and an easy way to get connected to institutions asap.
