Two years of experience as a nurse practitioner is preferred.

Opportunity Details:

• The PICU is a 20-bed, tertiary care unit.
• 10 of the beds are a Pediatric Cardiovascular ICU. 120-180 congenital heart repair cases/year. All STAT category (STAT 1-5) cases represented, including neonatal single ventricle repair. The ideal candidate would have some pediatric CV ICU experience, but it is not required.
• A diverse population of patients. Over 3 million population catchment area.
• Platinum center of excellence in ECMO care (~10-15 ECMO runs/year).
• All ventilator modalities including high frequency, VDR, and NAVA ventilation.
• All pediatric subspecialists are available for consultation.
• Plenty of teaching opportunities with medical students and ER residents rotating in the PICU.
• 9 FTE PICU physicians (soon to add a 10th). Two PICU MD teams during the daytime, one primarily cardiac patients, the other medical. One PICU MD in hospital overnight with a second PICU MD on call from home.

NP’s will cover both days and nights, Monday through Friday. One NP during the day from 8-4 pm supporting both teams. Second NP 9 pm to 9 am overnight supporting the in-hospital PICU MD. The ideal candidate would have some experience with performing PICU procedures (including intubation, central line and arterial line placement, chest tube placement, lumbar punctures, etc) but this is not a requirement as this will be taught and proctored one-on-one with PICU MD.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background/interest in teaching as there is an expectation for NP’s to play a teaching role to our nursing staff.
