Omaha Children's Hospital is thrilled to present an opportunity to join our Pediatric Critical Care Transport team.
Our Pediatric Nurse Practitioners collaborate closely with flight nurses and paramedics to deliver top-tier critical care to pediatric patients, utilizing a range of transport methods including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and critical care ground ambulances across the region. As an independent transport unit, we frequently operate across multiple states within a single shift. The challenges of transporting pediatric patients require exceptional critical thinking and adaptability to diverse situations with unique logistical demands. Are you ready to embrace this challenge?
As a distinguished healthcare institution with a legacy of over 75 years, we are dedicated to providing outstanding care to children nationwide, featuring a 52-bed Level 4 NICU. Our CAMTS-accredited transport team, consisting of NPs, Flight Nurses, Critical Care Paramedics, and Emergency Medical Technicians, works in unison to ensure exceptional patient care. We operate four ground ambulances and frequently utilize dedicated air assets such as an EC130 helicopter and a Pilatus PC-12 fixed-wing aircraft.
The Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Transport Provider is accountable for overseeing the care and transport of children from referring facilities. This role necessitates expertise in flight and ambulance treatment modalities, altitude physiology, and emergency protocols. Employing an advanced nursing process, the provider will assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate patient care, while meticulously documenting patient responses and outcomes.
This position requires a strong foundation in pediatric pathophysiology, assessment capabilities, emergency and critical care medical decision-making, as well as proficiency in interpreting lab and radiology results. Essential procedural skills include: intubation, surgical and needle cricothyrotomy, central and arterial line placement, thoracostomy, UAC/UVC placement, intraosseous access, and lumbar puncture. In collaboration with physicians and referral teams, the provider must exhibit strong leadership through nursing judgment, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. As an advocate for patients and families, the provider must uphold professional conduct and communication. Additionally, an understanding of healthcare economics is vital to ensure effective resource utilization.
Omaha Children's Hospital's Pediatric & Neonatal Transport team has received accreditation from The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems.
We provide a comprehensive benefits package:
- Competitive compensation
- Medical, dental, vision, health savings account, and flexible spending accounts
- 403(b) Retirement Plan
