A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Team Member, such as a registered nurse or respiratory therapist, must have in-depth knowledge of neonatal health, advanced life support skills, and a valid professional license in their field. Familiarity with specialized NICU equipment, electronic health records, and certifications such as Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) are often required. Compassion, resilience, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for supporting families and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These qualifications enable high-quality, safe care for critically ill newborns in a fast-paced and emotionally charged environment.
