Join a specialized Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as a travel nurse for a 13-week contract in Los Angeles. This role involves caring for high-risk neonates, including premature infants and surgical cases like gastroschisis and sepsis, with a focus on ventilated and ventilated infants, including nasal CPAP and rare oscillators. You'll work 12-hour night shifts, providing advanced care to fragile newborns while managing drips such as dopamine, dobutamine, versed, and fentanyl.

Expect to engage with advanced equipment like oscillators, giraffes, incubators, and radiant warmers, and monitor patient strips in a close-knit team dedicated to neonatal high-risk deliveries.
