Job Description

Our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) offers a dynamic, collaborative environment dedicated to providing exceptional care for our most vulnerable patients. This 28 private-room unit, with the capacity to care for up to 44 patients and an average daily census of 17, supports neonates ranging from 22 weeks gestation through full term with a wide variety of complex conditions. Team members typically care for 13 patients at a time, allowing for focused, high-quality, acuity-based care.

The NICU is a fast-paced, high-acuity setting where each day brings new challenges and opportunities to make a meaningful impact. Care includes advanced respiratory support, from low-flow nasal cannula to high-frequency oscillation, along with management of peripheral IVs, umbilical lines, PICC lines, chest tubes, and comprehensive patient assessments. A strong emphasis is placed on developmental and family-centered care, supported by close collaboration across a multidisciplinary team that includes providers, therapists, and lactation specialists.

Professional growth and continuous learning are central to the unit's culture. Orientation is individualized based on experience (ranging from 412 weeks), with structured education programs and opportunities to engage with various specialties across the Women's & Infants service line. Team members are encouraged to participate in unit-based councils and quality improvement initiatives, helping to shape practice, strengthen interdisciplinary care, and drive innovation.

The culture within the NICU is built on teamwork, recognition, and shared purpose. With strong interdisciplinary collaboration, team-driven protocols, and a supportive environment, individuals are empowered to contribute, grow, and advance in their careers through opportunities such as leadership roles, precepting, and committee involvement. A flexible self-scheduling model on a 6-week rotation (days/nights), including weekend and holiday requirements, helps support work-life balance.

If you're looking to be part of a highly collaborative team where your work has a direct and lasting impact, this NICU provides an exceptional environment to grow and thrive.
