About The Position

Baylor University Medical Center is hiring a Registered Nurse for its Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The unit cares for patients from 22 weeks gestational age through term and has 83 beds, including an 8-bed Tiniest Texans unit, with an average daily census of 50. It has more than 600 annual NICU admissions and 24/7 in-house neonatologist and neonatal nurse practitioner coverage. The role offers training and advancement opportunities, a neonatal transport team, a neonatal internship, a transition-to-practice residency, and support for specialty certification.

This is a 13-week seasonal assignment as a Baylor employee, rather than an agency or contractual placement. Seasonal employees are expected to meet full-time shift and hour requirements during the contract, excluding the first week of orientation. The first week is Monday through Friday orientation. The posting states the hope is that employees will convert to a regular full-time, part-time, or PRN role after the assignment.

The listed schedule is PRN/nights, three 12-hour shifts per week from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Weekend requirements are five weekend shifts every six weeks for newer nurses, on Saturday or Sunday night; seasonal weekend requirements match regular full-time requirements. The posting notes a three-year waitlist for day shift.

The seasonal rate is $51 per hour, with a $1,500 completion bonus for meeting minimum productive-time requirements. Baylor Scott & White Health also describes its nursing environment as emphasizing shared governance, professional development, evidence-based practice, research, innovation, interprofessional collaboration, and patient safety.
