Are neonatal nurse practitioner jobs in demand?

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Association of Neonatal Nurses, neonatal nurse practitioners earn more than non-specialist RNs. In both the U.S. and Canada, a shortage of specialist nurses means that infant care jobs and other specialty jobs are often open for nurses with the proper education and qualifications. The BLS projects that nursing careers, in general, will grow more than the national average over the next few years, and the demand for people in neonatal specialties will increase even faster.
