The University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) is seeking a Board-Certified Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) to join its neonatal practice at UM Capital Region Health in Largo, Maryland. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a Level III NICU alongside experienced neonatologists in a collaborative, academically affiliated environment that emphasizes high-quality, patient-centered neonatal care.

In this role, the NNP will provide comprehensive care to premature and term newborns, working closely with the neonatal team to manage both routine and high-acuity cases. The practice supports a team-based care model with strong interdisciplinary collaboration and access to specialty services through the UMMS network.

NICU & Practice Highlights include:

  • Level III NICU with 16 beds (including a twin room)
  • Average daily census of approximately 10 patients
  • Staffing model of 2 NNPs and 3–4 neonatologists
  • In-house neonatologist during the day with NNP in-house coverage overnight and neonatologist on-call
  • 12-hour shifts (flexibility can be discussed)
  • Dedicated support from social work, pediatric pharmacy, and nutrition services

The NNP scope of practice includes performing comprehensive histories and physicals, managing and treating at-risk and critically ill newborns, attending deliveries and stabilizing infants, providing prenatal consultations, and completing discharge summaries. The patient population includes extremely premature infants (22–23 weeks gestational age and above), term infants with respiratory distress, and known cardiac or surgical cases requiring stabilization prior to transfer to a tertiary children’s hospital.

Available resources and specialty support include:

  • Bubble CPAP, conventional ventilation, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, and video laryngoscopy
  • Upcoming expansion of services including ultrasound, EEG, and potential inhaled nitric oxide
  • In-house ophthalmology
  • Telehealth access to neurology, cardiology, and genetics
  • No in-house surgical services

Additional opportunities are available to pick up extra shifts at partner facilities, including Mercy and St. Joseph’s , for those seeking added flexibility or supplemental income.

Qualifications:

  • Board-Certified Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP required; PNP not considered) or Physician Assistant
  • Active Maryland license preferred (willing to wait for the right candidate)
  • Minimum 1 year of NICU experience as an NNP required; 3+ years preferred. We are open to new graduates who can commit to a full-time schedule and resides within a commutable distance

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $112,000–$149,760 annually , based on years of experience
