National Association of Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NANNP) Workforce Survey.

Background: As an integral member of a healthcare team, neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs) provide care in a variety of settings that include but are not limited to all levels of inpatient care, transport, acute and chronic care settings; delivery rooms; and outpatient care settings. Anecdotal evidence indicates that responsibilities, practice environment, and workload vary widely between regions and practice settings.

Purpose: Historically, the supply of neonatal nurse practitioners has rarely met the demand for services, although needs vary by region at any given time.
