Settings: The study was conducted in Neonatal Intensive Care Units at Specialized Pediatric Hospital at Benha City, Egypt.Study subjects: A convenient sample of (62)  nurses and a purposive sample of (62) neonates suffering from meconium aspiration syndrome and need hospitalization. Tools of data collection: Tool (1): A structured interviewing questionnaire sheet consists of Part (1): Personal characteristics of the studied nurses, Part (2): Personal characteristics of the studied neonates and Part (3): Nurses' knowledge regarding meconium aspiration syndrome. Tool (II): An observational checklist to assess nurses' practices. Results: Majority of the studied nurses had good level of total knowledge in post-educational guidelines compared to pre-educational guidelines implementation. Also, the majority of the studied nurses had competent level of total practice in post educational guidelines.
