Job description

Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Opportunity

Legacy Health offers an exciting growth opportunity to join a well-established team of collaborative and energetic Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NNPs). This role provides the opportunity to practice across both Level III and Level IV NICU settings within the Legacy system. NNPs are integral to delivery attendance and the medical management of high-risk neonates and infants, including daily rounding on NNP service patients.

In addition to clinical care, the role includes telemedicine resuscitation coverage for Legacy Level I nursery sites and opportunities to contribute to non-clinical initiatives that support the highest standards of care for NICU patients and their families.

Responsibilities

Patient Care Management: The NNP's work 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's are able to practice in an autonomous role utilizing technical procedural skills as well as essential decision making in the care of these patients.

Nursing Care Support: The NNP team provide ongoing support to the nursing staff whether on the unit or through formal education opportunities. The NNP's are key leaders in patient care projects that support both nursing care and medical management.

Resuscitation: The NNP's 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.

Discharge Planning: 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 RT's, consultants from dietary, OT/PT, lactation, as well as the core nursing, medical and leadership staff.

Qualifications

Education:

  • As required by licensure.

Experience:

  • Minimum 2 years' experience as an NICU Staff Nurse, Level III preferred.
Licensure
  • Current applicable state RN license required.
  • National Certification as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) required.
