University of Vermont Medical Center- UVMMC
Mid Level
Seize the opportunity to lead newborn care as a Registered Nurse in the Newborn Nursery, bringing your expertise to Burlington, Vermont, beginning 04/06/2026. This travel assignment is designed for compassionate clinicians who believe every newborn deserves a calm start and every family benefits from clear, evidence-based guidance. In this role, you’ll partner with obstetric and pediatric teams to support babies during the critical early days of life, helping families transition from hospital to home with confidence. Your hands-on care will directly influence infant health outcomes and parental well-being, while you expand your clinical repertoire through exposure to diverse cases and collaborative multidisciplinary teams. In addition to clinical growth, you’ll discover a region celebrated for its balance of outdoor adventure and refined small-town charm, where civic warmth and natural beauty complement a rewarding professional path.
Vermont’s Burlington area offers a unique blend of academic resources, patient-centered care, and a lifestyle that makes every day meaningful. Beyond the hospital walls, you’ll find the splendor of Lake Champlain with its waterfront parks and sunsets over the Adirondacks, a thriving arts scene, seasonal farmer’s markets, and a welcoming community that values well-being and balance. Vermont’s natural beauty—leaf-streaked hills in autumn, easy access to hiking trails, and winter sports in nearby mountains—provides a backdrop that enhances your overall well-being as you care for families during pivotal moments. Consider the opportunity to work in a place where green mountain vistas meet lake breezes, where you can explore vibrant Burlington neighborhoods, dine on farm-to-table cuisine, and unwind after shifts in a state renowned for its quality of life. The appeal of this location is twofold: you’ll deliver exceptional neonatal care in a dynamic environment, and you’ll enjoy the unique pleasures of living in a state that rewards curiosity, resilience, and community.
Location benefits extend from Burlington’s professional ecosystem to the chance to explore a broader U.S. landscape. In Burlington, you’ll collaborate with top OB and neonatal teams, access progressive NICU-aware practices, and participate in evidence-based care that emphasizes family-centered newborn support. For clinicians who crave variety, this role also opens opportunities to travel to different locations across the United States, gaining exposure to diverse hospital settings, patient populations, and care models while maintaining a stable support network and travel framework. The blend of regional practice standards and national travel opportunities allows you to refine your neonatal skill set—stabilization, monitoring, feeding advancement, jaundice management, respiratory assessment, and discharge planning—within a rich tapestry of care environments that challenge and elevate your professional capabilities.
Role specifics and benefits include a comprehensive, hands-on scope of practice within the Newborn Nursery. You will perform routine and high-quality newborn assessments, monitor adaptation to extrauterine life, manage feeding support and lactation education, collaborate with physicians and specialists on care plans, participate in rounds, document accurately, and assist with family education and discharge instructions. This position encourages professional growth through exposure to varied case mixes, continued education stipends, and potential pathways to advanced neonatal training or certification. You’ll be part of a supportive travel program that emphasizes stability and return on your investment in your career, with a guaranteed pay range of $2,187 to $2,256 per week, and flexible scheduling designed to reflect the patient load and assignment length. The package also includes housing assistance and extension opportunities, enabling you to tailor your travel to your preferences while ensuring comfort and financial predictability. A robust, 24/7 support system remains available while you travel with the company, offering guidance, resources, and crisis management whenever you need it, so you can focus on delivering compassionate, expert care to newborns and their families.
As a company, we value empowerment, attraction and retention of dedicated staff, and a culture of growth. We’re committed to your career advancement and to sustaining a supportive work environment where your expertise is recognized, your professional development is encouraged, and your work-life balance is respected. You’ll join a team that believes in mentoring, collaborative decision-making, and recognizing the essential role nurses play in shaping patient outcomes. Our approach centers on partnering with you to set achievable goals, pursue relevant certifications, and expand your clinical capabilities in neonatal care, while maintaining an environment where you feel heard, valued, and supported.
If you’re ready to apply, this is your invitation to join a company that values your contribution and your ongoing professional development. Bring your dedication to newborns, your curiosity about best practices, and your desire to grow within a supportive, nationwide network that respects your expertise and your life outside the hospital. Your impact starts with a single application—step into a role that honors both your clinical skill and your aspirations for the next chapter of your nursing career.
Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
