Join the MercyOne Family! We are looking to hire a NICU RN!

Night shift is 3p-3a

The Waterloo Birth Center consists of labor & delivery, postpartum care, and a Level III NICU. We are a 23 bed unit, with 19 of those rooms being large LDRP that allow for families to stay in one room for the entire stay. We have a two room OR suites for patients needing a c-section. We are one of a very few integrated neonatal intensive care units in the nation. Our NICU infants remain in the LDRP room with the family. This allows for true family centered care and bonding while both recover after delivery. We are blessed with a team of providers that consist of OBGYN doctors and midwives. We have a below average primary c-section rate and a high VBAC success rate.

As a Level III NICU, we provide care to infants 28+ weeks gestation. We also have a NICU transport team that typically will help transport infants from smaller hospitals to our NICU when a higher level of care is needed.

As a NICU RN at MercyOne, you will provide specialized, evidence-based, and outcome-focused care to critically ill and premature newborns in a dynamic and supportive environment. Using advanced critical thinking and neonatal expertise, you will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individualized care while supervising and coordinating the NICU nursing team.

You will collaborate with neonatologists, pediatric specialists, families, and other healthcare professionals to ensure clear communication and optimal outcomes for vulnerable newborns. By conducting thorough assessments, identifying patient needs, and developing goal-oriented care plans, you will support neonates through critical stages of growth and development. Your ability to monitor and respond to complex conditions, provide family education, and adjust care plans as needed will help ensure the best possible outcomes for every newborn in your care.
