Midwife they are nurses at first then they have to study 2 years to become a Midwife.
Reply:Neonatal literally means "new born", so neonatal nurses take care of the brand new babies. Prenatal literally means "before birth", so they take care of the pregnant women. The nurses that help deliver the babies are obstetrical nurses.
Reply:Neonatal nurse is after the baby is first born.


Prenatal nurse is before the baby is born.


Neonatal nurses don't help deliver babies. They take them right after they are born to clean them, weigh them, etc.


Prenatal nurses help around the OB office weighing women, taking histories, blood pressure, measuring their tummies, stuff like that.
Reply:They are called Nursery nurse.
