About The Position

The Registered Nurse works in the Neonatal ICU at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, an 83-bed Level III critical care facility providing acute medical, nursing, and respiratory care to critically ill infants. Patients may be premature or full-term and may have conditions such as low birth weight, infectious diseases, congenital anomalies, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, or complications during labor and delivery. Most admissions come from within Magee, and the unit also accepts transports from regional hospitals.
