(Archived) Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses (46N3F): USAF Active Duty

Last Updated: 7/10/22

Job Description

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses must have a minimum of one year experience as a RN that includes at least six months in a Level III NICU (the resume must clearly state Level III experience). They must possess extensive advanced knowledge and clinical skills to manage up to two critically ill neonates.
Below is additional information on the NICU levels:

Level I - Basic Neonatal Care - The minimum required for any facility that provides inpatient maternity care. The hospital must have the necessary personnel and equipment to perform neonatal resuscitation, evaluate healthy newborn infants, provide postnatal care, and stabilize ill newborn infants until transfer to a facility that provides intensive care.

Level II - Specialty Care Nurseries - In addition to providing the level I care listed above, Special Care Nurseries provide care to infants who are moderately ill with problems that are expected to resolve rapidly and provide care to infants who are recovering from serious illness treated in a Level III NICU.

Level III - Subspecialty NICU's - Care for newborn infants with extreme prematurity, who are critically ill, or require surgical intervention.

Level IV - Regional Subspecialty NICU's (Level IV is a designation about the Level III, only found in a limited number of the states). The Level IV NICU's are often found in regional academic medical centers and can provide the most complex level of neonatal care, including advanced diagnoses and treatment of fetuses, preemies, and newborns with complicated conditions. A Level IV NICU signifies the highest level of care available for premature and critically ill newborns. To receive a Level IV designation all Level III capabilities must be met.
