Senior in high school and plan on being a neonatal nurse.. NEED ADVICE!

Im a senior in high school and plan on attending college to be a nurse. Off and on ever since i was little i have wanted to be a nurse and work with new borns. I have heard that it is one of the more difficult fields of nursing, but I feel that it is my calling. As of right now, my plan is to attend a 2 year school to get my RN then contiune on at a medical school after that. I will be getting my CNA in the spring before then and also starting volunteer work at a nearby hospital hopefully sometime soon. What else could i do to prepare myself for the future and my goal of becoming a neonatal nurse?
What can you tell me about this specific field of nursing?

Thank you!
Why would you go to medical school? You don't need to go to medical school to be a nurse.I know the private practice group I work with is giving full scholarships for current neo-natal nurses to attain their msn with a neonatal nurse practitioner certificate. So I know it's a field that has demand.
