Becoming an RN and the different areas of nursing?
I'm looking to go to school to become an RN, however I want to work with infants whether it be as neonatal nurse or a NICU nurse, or even a pediatric nurse which I realize would be children of all ages.
I'm confused---do you have to take different courses to work in different areas of nursing? Or once you become a certified RN are you able to apply for any kind of nursing job whether it be neonatal, pediatrics, geriatrics, etc?
Thank you for any advice!

The RN programs include classes on gero, pediatrics, ob/gyn, etc. |

Be a registered nurse first. |
