Registered Nurse - Intermediate Intensive Care Nursery

Under the leadership of the department director, assistant director, nursing supervisor, and/or charge nurse, the registered nurse plans, directs, assesses, and provides nursing care according to hospital and department policies. Important dimensions include quality of care, professional commitment, teamwork, interpersonal skills, safety, and broad nursing knowledge. The registered nurse orients new staff, precepts students, and assumes relief charge nurse duty as assigned.

The RN competently evaluates, plans, and implements appropriate nursing care for patients, provides prescribed medication and treatment, assists physicians, and monitors patient conditions while notifying physicians when appropriate. In the Intermediate Intensive Care Nursery (IICN), staff RNs manage well-baby nursery, level 1 and 2 care, attend deliveries, initiate resuscitation as needed, and stabilize for transfer to tertiary care. RNs float to Family Birth Center (FBC) for postpartum maternal and infant care.

Montage Health is a Baby Friendly™ hospital designated by the World Health Organization and UNICEF. All staff adhere to the 10 Steps of the Baby Friendly™ initiative. This environment emphasizes comprehensive newborn and maternal care standards.

RNs must pass orientation and initial competency assessments prior to independent patient assignments. They complete and pass all annual competencies to maintain skills. Experienced nurses contribute to team development through precepting and charge duties.
