A nurse is a general term for any type of nurse but usually when this term is used a person is referring to a LPN or RN. A prenatal nurse is a RN that has gone on and specialized in more advanced care and has received more licensure (and usually a Master's degree) to provide care to the mother through the pregnancy process (before, during, and after delivery). The term "nurse" still applies to a prenatal nurse.
Letters that go after a nurse's name typically indicate their qualifications and certifications. Common designations include RN (Registered Nurse), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), or NP (Nurse Practitioner). Additional certifications, such as CCRN (Critical Care Registered Nurse) or CNS (Clinical Nurse Specialist), may also be included. These letters help identify the nurse's level of education, specialization, and licensure.
