What is the name of the nurse that work in the nursery with the babies?
It's a nurse. Neonatal nurse if the training is more in babies.


If they are RN they will take about 2 years, for a BSN then a bachelor with more years To get their license that depends if they study hard and pass their test.


Just because they are in the nursery that doesn't means that the only thing that they do is to feed and cuddle babies. If the babies get sick they are also responsible to draw the blood, put their intravenous fluids, etc, etc. If the babies are very sick then they are transferred to a NICU where the nurses are more specialized with intensive care unit equipment. They have to be sharp in resuscitation measures and more complicated conditions.





For an LPN, that can be done in a year or so. That is only a certificate and the nurse is more limited on what they ca do. That means, less payment. Because, the more you study, the more the chances to have a better salary.
Reply:Do you mean a midwife? This is a profession in it's own right and not considered a type of nurse. At least in the UK. However it is possible to enter into the career, having completed nurse training (usually 3 years) and worked a minimum of a year as a working nurse, and then doing a midwifery top up which is usually around 18 months. Alternatively you can do a degree in midwifery from the beginning and this also takes 3 years, at which point you become a registered midwife. Alternatively, if you don't mean literally immediately after but after a few weeks, in the UK the nurse that you see about your baby is called a health visitor. This can be entered into through adult nurse training and then further down the line training in this field, I'd guess it'd be a minimum 5 years before you could actually be a health visitor. This is the information relevant in the UK anyway, I can't talk for anyone else. I suggest you really do some long, hard research into this before choosing the career path - if you don't even know the name then I can only assume you know very little about the profession. Nursing and midwifery careers are not a job - they are a way of life - and they take very special people to be able to do it.
Reply:a midwife? in the UK a midwife delivers the baby, if there are no complications and helps you look after baby, when they are born. im not too sure how long it takes to become one. a few years probably
