Employment Type:

Full time
Shift: Night Shift (3p-3a)

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 rooms that allow families to stay in one room for the entire stay. We have two‑room OR suites for patients needing a c‑section. Our NICU infants remain in the LDRP room with the family, allowing true family‑centered care and bonding while both the infant and family recover after delivery.

We are blessed with a team of providers that include OBGYN doctors and midwives, 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 and have a NICU transport team that transports infants from smaller hospitals when higher level of care is needed.

Key Responsibilities: Provide specialized, evidence‑based, outcome‑focused care to critically ill and premature newborns. Use advanced critical thinking and neonatal expertise to 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.
