Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

Legacy Health has a growth opportunity to join a well‑established team of energetic NNP’s. The NNP role offers opportunities at both Level III and IV NICU units within Legacy. Both units provide delivery attendance, medical management of high‑risk neonates and infants, and rounding on NNP service patients. Telemedicine resuscitation coverage of other Legacy Level I nursery sites and the chance to work on nonclinical projects vital to the high standard of care for NICU patients and families are also integral parts of the NNP role.

The Level IV 45‑bed unit is within Randall Children’s Hospital, a free‑standing 9‑story children’s hospital, and offers comprehensive care with all subspecialties, including cardiac and neurology surgery specialties, genetics, and ECMO, within the framework of family‑integrated care. Randall Children’s Hospital has a dedicated children’s transport team; no transport requirement for the NNP role.

The Level III 22‑bed unit at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center is awaiting the addition of NNPs to the care team. The schedule is emerging and includes 12, 16, and 24‑hour shift options.

The role requires the NNP to be based in the Portland/Vancouver area and requires dual licensure in Oregon and Washington. Rotation frequency through both units is negotiable and individualized to maintain 24‑hour coverage at both sites, including nights, holidays, and weekends. Holiday tracks and a well‑established self‑scheduling model bring increased satisfaction and balance to the team.

The Neonatal Nurse Practitioner role is part of the Legacy Medical Group of medical providers. Candidates will enjoy a comprehensive benefit package that includes required license reimbursement and generous continuing education support annually.

The NNP works collaboratively with Neonatologists and pediatric subspecialists in the NICU as well as pediatricians and obstetricians in the Labor and Delivery and Family Birthing centers to guide the care of neonates and infants across the care continuum. The NNP is able to practice in an autonomous role utilizing technical procedural skills as well as essential decision making in the care of these patients.

The NNP team provides ongoing support to the nursing staff whether on the unit or through formal education opportunities. The NNPs are key leaders in patient care projects that support both nursing care and medical management.

The NNPs attend deliveries in person at each of the medical centers and via a telehealth support platform at the other Level I nursery sites to provide a consistent high level of care for newborns throughout the Legacy system.

The entire NICU team works to provide an integrated family care experience to enable families to care for their high‑risk infants within the NICU setting and beyond. The NICU values input from all members of the team including dedicated neonatal RTs, consultants from dietary, OT/PT, lactation, as well as the core nursing, medical and leadership staff.
