An in-house neonatologist is available around the clock to provide the most advanced evidence-based care for our tiniest population. Babies in the NICU are cared for in state-of-the-art Giraffe OmniBeds, which are specialized isolettes and infant warmers all-in-one, reducing the stress on the baby. We take babies from 23(ish) weeks gestation to post-term babies.  

This position provides optimal patient care utilizing knowledge and skills within the context of the nursing process. The incumbent is accountable for individualized patient outcomes over an entire episode of care.

Ambulances and planes with neonatal care equipment take the team to rural areas to begin treatment and bring the child to the safety and comfort of Renown's NICU. Must have 1.5-2 years NICU experience to apply.
