NICU is a 54-bed, level 4 NICU caring for patients ranging from 22 weeks gestation to complex congenital anomalies. The NICU is the tertiary center in Virginia, receiving transfers of critically ill infants. We are looking for qualified candidates with experience as our unit has increased beds over the last 2 years and will continue to increase by 6 additional beds in early Spring 2024.

The NICU Advanced Practice Provider is responsible for pre-rounding, presentation, and plan of care for 8-10 patients on days and up to 25 on nights. An experienced NICU APP should have level 4 and at a minimum level 3 experience and be proficient in intubations, lumbar puncture, umbilical line placements, peripheral arterial line placements, and chest thoracentesis. Training will be given to provide experience in chest tube placements and Neo PICC line placements.

We offer flexible scheduling options including 12-hour day shifts, 12-hour night shifts, and 24-hour shifts. The team self-schedules and then rebalances as a team to meet the needs of the unit. APPs work either full-time, 80 hours/pay period, or part-time 72 hours/pay period.

Weekend requirements are 4-5 weekend shifts over a 6-week scheduling period. Weekend shifts include Friday nights, Saturday nights, Sunday nights, Saturday days, or Sunday days. 24-hour shifts count as 2 shifts when considering weekend requirements.

There are no on-call requirements. When NICU APP or Newborn APP staffing is in vacancy status, there are opportunities to work additional shifts for critical staffing pay.
