Neonatology Nurse
I'm interested in becoming a Neonatologist Nurse because it's a "hands-on" type of job. It's one of the few remaining medical specialities where you get to know patients and their families on a day-to-day basis. I think it's a great career for people who are interested in getting involved with babies.
