Job Details

NICU RNs are responsible for providing comprehensive care to infants who may be diagnosed with congenital defects, delivery complications, or prematurity.

They develop and implement nursing care plans, assess, plan, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments in these plans. NICU RNs administer medications and perform complex procedures to coordinate all aspects of a patient's care.

NICU RNs work in the NICU unit of a hospital, which is classified based on the type of care provided and the extent of technology available.

Hospitals are classified as NICU Level I-IV, with Level I being designed for less critically ill infants and Level IV providing the most sophisticated care for ill or premature infants.


Education and Requirements

To become a NICU RN, you must earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or an Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) and pass the NCLEX to apply for a license as a RN.

RNs can only work with an active state license and may require additional certifications such as ACLS, CCRN, and STABLE.


Work Schedule and Benefits

We are looking for a NICU RN with Level 3 experience to work up to 36 hours per week, including weekends.

The ideal candidate should be available for a minimum of 2 shifts per week and be willing to work 5 on AM and 5 on PM shifts.

  • Excellent Pay
  • Direct Deposit
