NICU Travel Nursing Jobs Go Beyond Traditional Settings
Neonatal intensive care nurses care for newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who need close monitoring or specialized care due to premature birth, infection, birth defects or other medical conditions requiring therapies or surgery. NICU travel nurses provide direct care to these infants, who require high-technology care, including ventilators or other special equipment, incubators or surgery. Doctors, nursery and neonatal nurses and other health care professionals on the NICU team work together with parents to develop a plan of care for high-risk newborns. Neonatal intensive care nurses who work in the Level II nursery provide care for babies who need close monitoring or additional care. Level II is an intermediate-care nursery where premature or sick babies receive special care, including supplemental oxygen, intravenous therapy, specialized feedings, or more time to mature before discharge. NICU Level II nurses work closely with parents, teaching them about special procedures or medications that babies require at home.
