Unit Overview

NICU Float Pool

This position is part of a specialty float pool and requires flexibility to work throughout multiple pediatric critical care areas based on staffing needs.

Floating Requirements

Candidates must be willing to float to:

• PICU
• CVPICU
• Pediatric Stepdown
• Pediatric Med/Surg

Assignments will always be appropriate to the nurse's experience and competency level.

Note: While the Emergency Department is technically included in the critical care float cluster, NICU travelers are extremely unlikely to float there. NICU travelers most commonly float to PICU, CVPICU, and Pediatric Med/Surg areas.

Candidates must be comfortable with:

• Frequent tracheostomy care
• Long-term pediatric patient populations
• Significant family and parent involvement in daily caregiving
• Extended patient lengths of stay, often ranging from months to several years

Average length of stay within the BPD NICU is approximately 2-3 years.
