What is a night nurse?

"Night nurse" is often used informally to describe overnight newborn care. At Queen City Doulas, a night nurse is a licensed nurse who cares for infants overnight.

To become an licensed nurse, individuals complete a nursing program and pass National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to obtain licensure or registration to practice nursing in their state or jurisdiction. Night nurses bring a high level of medical expertise to the care of your baby.
