Hi, I’m Amanda — a Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist with 16+ years of NICU experience, and the founder of Amanda’s NICU Ed. I’ve walked alongside hundreds of nurses as they’ve built confidence, passed certification exams, and sharpened their clinical skills.

I created this course because I know firsthand how scary it can feel when a baby suddenly decompensates and a chest tube is needed.

Let’s break it down together so you feel ready—not rattled—the next time it happens.
