Maternal Health Registered Nurse

Nadia Care • Columbia, WA

11h • Hybrid

About The Position

The United States has the poorest maternal and birth outcomes of all developed countries with the underserved, Black, Brown, Indigenous communities disproportionately affected. Nadia Care is working to drastically change the experience of affected communities by reimagining how we deliver meaningful and compassionate care to expectant moms. Nadia Care’s mission is to improve pregnancy, birth and the postpartum journey for women and their families by reimagining how maternity care is delivered. Our team is focused on building trust-based engagement and wrap-around support for expectant moms at home, in person and virtually to ensure they have all the social support they need for a successful and joyful pregnancy journey. We help our members with care navigation, doula support, assistance with lactation, nutrition, housing, transportation and a wide range of other needs. We leverage technology to support our virtual engagement that allows us to meet all our moms where they are. We ensure that our members have trusted sources for support, resources, and information throughout their pregnancy, delivery and well into postpartum. Nadia Care does not replace the primary obstetrician or doctor’s relationships. Instead, we support expectant mothers with all other health-related social needs not typically available through their doctors’ offices. Our Values: Empathy is at the heart of everything we do. We must always center the experiences of the mothers and families we serve, as well as support and uplift one another. Collaboration is what makes us stronger. We achieve the greatest impact when we work together, share knowledge, and elevate each other’s strengths. Resilience reflects our ability to push through challenges, adapt in a fast-changing environment, and remain committed to our mission no matter the obstacles. The Role: We are seeking a compassionate and experienced full-time Registered Nurse (RN) to serve as a vital link between clinical care and community-based support for new mothers and their babies. In this role, you will act as a trusted clinical partner to the families we serve, providing guidance throughout the postpartum period. Your responsibilities will include, but not limited to, assessing the medical needs of both mother and baby following NICU discharge, addressing postpartum concerns, and collaborating with our Maternity Navigators to connect families with non-clinical resources and support. This role will help shape how we serve the local Washington, D.C., Montgomery County, and PG County communities with additional wrap-around services, ensuring our care model meets the unique needs of families in Washington, D.C. This role will report to the Senior Manager of Care Delivery.
