This is an excellent opportunity to work within a Level III NICU alongside experienced neonatologists in a collaborative, academically affiliated environment that emphasizes high-quality, patient-centered neonatal care.

In this role, the NNP will provide comprehensive care to premature and term newborns, working closely with the neonatal team to manage both routine and high-acuity cases.

The patient population includes extremely premature infants (22–23 weeks gestational age and above), term infants with respiratory distress, and known cardiac or surgical cases requiring stabilization prior to transfer to a tertiary children’s hospital.

  • Bubble CPAP, conventional ventilation, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, and video laryngoscopy

Additional opportunities are available to pick up extra shifts at partner facilities, including Mercy and St. Joseph’s , for those seeking added flexibility or supplemental income.

Qualifications:

  • Board-Certified Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP required; PNP not considered) or Physician Assistant
  • Active Maryland license preferred (willing to wait for the right candidate)
  • Minimum 1 year of NICU experience as an NNP required; 3+ years preferred. We are open to new graduates who can commit to a full-time schedule and resides within a commutable distance
