Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Opportunity â“ Flexible Scheduling | Beautiful Ozark Mountains | Springfield, MO

Are you looking for a rewarding neonatology role that also supports a healthy work-life balance? Nestled in the scenic Ozark Mountains and near multiple lakes, our practice offers the ideal blend of professional fulfillment and personal flexibility.

We are a well-established team of 4 neonatologists and 5 NNPs. We have a manageable Level III NICU â” a place where youâ™ll care for a balanced-mix of patients without the high-volume burnout.

Whether you're looking for a full-time role or part-time flexibility, we invite you to consider joining our team. We are interested in finding an NNP for flexible coverage to support a model where the NNP provides replacement coverage for the backup neonatologist in a 6 to 8-hour daytime rounding shift, or 12-hour nighttime in-house coverage to relieve the daytime NNP, or an occasional 24-hour shift to provide PTO coverage for an NNP.

Work Schedule (Full-Time):

• 7 in-house 24-hour shifts per month using a self-scheduling model for maximum flexibility.

• Two neonatologists provide supervision and support daily and share in primary care of critical infants with one neonatologist providing backup from home (30 min response time for high-risk deliveries under 27 weeks or with major issues)

• Routine C-sections are attended by charge and procedural nurses

• Routine newborn care is handled by hospital-employed pediatricians

• NICU transport (air and ground) is supervised by the neonatologist with a team of transport NICU nurses/RT. Very rarely, an NNP may be requested to go by ground to assist the team.

Our NICU at a Glance:

• 46-bed, Level III single-room design with average census of 25

• ~450 admits/year with 10% under 1500 grams

• High-frequency oscillators, jet ventilators, iNO (ECMO and cardiac patients are transferred to in-state Level IV regional NICUs)
