The Certificate in Newborn and Infant Nursing is a specialized program designed for nurses seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in caring for newborns and infants. Typically lasting 6 - 12 months, this course covers essential topics such as neonatal assessment, infant nutrition, common medical conditions in newborns, neonatal resuscitation, and infant care techniques. It combines both theoretical learning and practical experience, often through clinical placements in hospitals or neonatal units. The program equips healthcare professionals with the expertise needed to care for newborns in various settings, from well-baby nurseries to intensive care units.
