About this role
Legacy Health offers an exciting growth opportunity to join a well-established team of collaborative and energetic Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NNPs). This role provides the opportunity to practice across both Level III and Level IV NICU settings within the Legacy system.
NNPs are integral to delivery attendance and the medical management of high-risk neonates and infants, including daily rounding on NNP service patients. The role includes telemedicine resuscitation coverage for Legacy Level I nursery sites and opportunities to contribute to non-clinical initiatives that support high standards of care.
The Level IV, 45-bed NICU at Randall Children's Hospital provides comprehensive care with a full range of pediatric subspecialties, including cardiac and neurosurgical services. The Level III, 22-bed NICU at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center is a growing unit with flexible scheduling options including 12-, 16-, and 24-hour shifts.
NNPs rotate between both sites with frequency tailored to individual preferences while ensuring 24/7 coverage. A well-established self-scheduling model and structured holiday tracks contribute to provider satisfaction and balance. Dual licensure in Oregon and Washington is required for this Portland/Vancouver area position.

- Lead patient care projects that support both nursing care and medical management
