Nothing is harder or "easier." Things are harder if it does not interest you. Being a neonatal nurse requires you to be comfortable with infants and parents. A lot of time you will be caring for the emotions of the family. Every specialty impacts patient care in a different way. Nothing is hard if you love what you do and the impact you provide.

Hi there.

I would not say it is harder or easier. It’s more about your passion. If you have a desired to work with tiny babies and assist in them growing and developing, then this may be an area of interest.

I am a NICU nurse case manager. I worked in the hospital for 3.5 years. After transitioning out of the hospital, I became an NICU Nurse Case Manager. My hours were Monday through Friday 8-4:30 pm. Since I worked in office I would make calls to parents who recently had babies in the NICU. As the babies discharge from the hospital, I placed calls to them and let them know of the insurance company benefits as it pertained to their child. I also provided education and community resources to assist with a smooth transition from hospital to home.
