Pros

APP and MD teams are very welcoming of locums staff. There are regular updates sent to the APP team. APP manager is top notch. Unit provides Level IV neonatal care.

Cons

This is a high census, high acuity 51 bed NICU, often with census 55-70. There are satellite spaces to accommodate increased census. It takes a bit to understand how APP teams are divided up and which attending you round with, especially with very high census and/or when the APP team is working short.
