The Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) utilizes a patient and family‑centered approach to provide compassionate and high‑quality care for newborns and infants facing an array of health challenges. The NICU cares for neonates from the youngest gestations to post‑mature infants. The unit is staffed by neonatologists, pediatric specialists, sub‑specialists, and dedicated NICU registered nurses, all extensively trained and experienced in developmental care, and provides collaborative support at high‑risk deliveries.

Clinical leadership is available on both days and nights to provide ongoing support to families and staff. This setting requires strong decision‑making skills, excellent communication and teamwork abilities, and the ability to work in a fast‑paced and dynamic environment. Onboarding and training will occur at our Thomas Campus NICU. Only NIGHT shift is available. Full‑time and part‑time positions are available.
