Registered Nurse - NICU (Full time, 12 hour, Night shift)

Located in the city of Santa Barbara, California, Cottage Children's Medical Center is recognized today as a regional referral center for the medical needs of infants, toddlers and children throughout the tri-county area. It is part of the larger Cottage Hospital, a major not-for-profit teaching hospital and trauma center servicing the south and central coast of California since 1888.

The primary focus of the 22 bed Level III, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is the provision of critical nursing care to the infant in crisis. The neonatal patient may suffer from a wide variety of medical conditions such as prematurity, respiratory distress, meconium aspiration syndrome, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis and surgical conditions requiring pre and post operative care. Care ranges from the acute phase to patient needs or conditions necessitating close observation and interventions.

The NICU utilizes a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team approach to meet the patient needs throughout their hospital stay and we recognize the importance of parents and family as being an important member of the team.

California RN license, BLS, NRP and at least 1-year experience in a Level II or III NICU required.
