You.

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Neonatal Intensive Care Registered Nurse.

Your compassion is tangible: patients feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers. Colleagues feel it in your support.

You know how to stay organized and move fast.  You thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy advocating for our tiniest patients.

Youâ™re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

Us.

Our Women & Infants Center offers a warm, home-like environment that is equipped with luxurious amenities and the most advanced monitoring for our patients and their babies.  

Our Level II Special Care Nursery (SCN), the only Level II SCN in the area, is partnered with Childrenâ™s Hospital Colorado to provide the highest level of care.  There are eight private rooms for babies with specialized needs and those born as early as 32 weeks. These rooms also allow up to two family members to be present with their baby 24/7.

We are proud to follow Baby Friendly practices and be a Level III Trauma Center.

Platte Valley Medical Center is a partner of SCL Health which is a nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our 98-bed community hospital is proud to offer comprehensive, integrated care focused on holistic health. We are proud to extend the mission of SCL Health by providing care for the poor, the vulnerable, our communities and each other.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, weâ™ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

We.

Together weâ™ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. Weâ™ll honor each otherâ™s dignity and surpass the standards we set. Weâ™ll encourage joy, demand safety and take pride in our integrity.

Weâ™ll laugh at each otherâ™s jokes (even the bad ones). Weâ™ll hello and high five. Weâ™ll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

Weâ™re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.
