(Archived) Neonatal NP needed at university medical center
Job Description
**University Medical Center**
Location: Burlington, VT
Shifts: 14 hours
20-Bed NICU
Specialty Care
A core team of Neonatologists, Neonatal Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are specially trained and experienced at providing expert care to premature and critically ill infants. We care for over 650 infants a year and offer a specialized transport service for infants born at outlying hospitals throughout Vermont and the Adirondack region of New York needing neonatal intensive care. Care is collaborative and tailored to meet the unique needs of these infants no matter how complex or routine their needs may be.
Core Team Nursing
We strive to keep a core team of NICU nurses caring for your infant. This enables the nursing team to get to know each baby, be alert to even the most subtle changes in their condition and provide the personalized care your baby and family needs.
Evidence Based Research
Our NICU is affiliated with the University of Vermont and offers the depth of expertise and scientific inquiry and advanced technological resources you would expect to find at an academic medical center. Our NICU also participates in the Vermont Oxford Network (VON), a nationwide collaborative of health care workers focused on using evidence based practice to improve outcomes and bring quality, safety and value to newborn care.
Support for Families
Having a baby in the NICU can be stressful for families. We encourage parents to partner with their baby’s health care team and be an active part of their baby’s care. Parents are welcome in the NICU 24 hours a day. We encourage parents to be present for daily rounds, to actively participate and ask questions as well as help set goals for their baby every day. Our social worker meets with families and provides needed resources as well as is available for consults or care conferences.
