  • 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
