NICU nurses at Banner University Medical Center – Tucson have the unique opportunity to be an integral part of Diamond Children's Medical Center, collaborating closely with Women and Infant Services (WIS), Fetal Surgery, Pediatrics, and a comprehensive Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) program.

As a NICU nurse in our Level IV facility, you'll care for infants with complex medical needs, including severe cardiac anomalies and surgical conditions, in close collaboration with our expert fetal surgery team. Our family-centered care model emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, involving developmental therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, PT/OT specialists, neonatal nurse practitioners, and 24/7 neonatology support. This is a 3x 12-hour night shift position (7:00 PM – 7:30 AM). Take advantage of our self-scheduling tool for shift and weekend coverage.
