NICU RN Nights

NICU RN Nights

Join the Mercy One Family! We are looking to hire a NICU RN.

Full time

Night Shift (3 p.m. – 3 a.m.)

Waterloo, IA

The Waterloo Birth Center consists of labor & delivery, postpartum care, and a Level III NICU. We are a 23‑bed unit, with 19 of those rooms being large LDRP that allow families to stay in one room for the entire stay. We have two room OR suites for patients needing a c‑section. We are one of a very few integrated neonatal intensive care units in the nation.

Our NICU infants remain in the LDRP room with the family. This allows for true family‑centered care and bonding while both recover after delivery. We are blessed with a team of providers that consist of OBGYN doctors and midwives. We have a below average primary c‑section rate and a high VBAC success rate.

As a Level III NICU, we provide care to infants 28+ weeks gestation. We also have a NICU transport team that typically helps transport infants from smaller hospitals to our NICU when a higher level of care is needed.

• Provide specialized, evidence‑based, outcomes‑focused care to critically ill and premature newborns.
• Assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individualized care while supervising and coordinating the NICU nursing team.
• Collaborate with neonatologists, pediatric specialists, families, and other healthcare professionals to ensure clear communication and optimal outcomes.
• Conduct thorough assessments, identify patient needs, and develop goal‑oriented care plans.
• Monitor and respond to complex conditions, provide family education, and adjust care plans as needed.

• Associate degree required; BSN preferred.
• No prior experience required.
• Current Iowa RN license.
• BLS, Mandatory Reporter, NRP, ALCS certifications required.
