Nurse Manager - Neonatal ICU

Join Cleveland Clinic Akron General where we have been providing world-class care to the community for over 100 years. At Akron General, you will work and learn from some of the best caregivers, provide and receive multitudes of support and appreciation, and create steppingstones toward a rewarding career with one of the world's most respected healthcare organizations. We strive for patient-centered care and comfort, and we are committed to serving the community and treating our patients as family.   

Our NICU opened November 1, 2024, under Cleveland Clinic oversight. We are a 14-bed, level III NICU. We admit infants born as young as 22 weeks gestational age up to full term babies who need help transitioning to life outside the womb. We care for babies who need full-body cooling, respiratory support (CPAP, conventional ventilators, jet ventilator, oscillator), and IV nutrition support as well as attend high risk deliveries and lead neonatal resuscitations. We have a full staff of neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners and a dedicated respiratory therapy team who are on-site 24/7. Along with our provider team, we have a full team of therapists - physical, occupational, and speech and a dedicated dietician, who are here Monday through Friday.  Nurse patient ratios are generally 1:3 (i.e. feeder/growers) or 1:2 (i.e. CPAP, stable vent, central lines) with the occasional 1:1 for those extremely high acuity babies (i.e. cooling, unstable jet or oscillator, nitric).   
 
As a Nurse Manager, you will manage the delivery of care within the Neonatal ICU (NICU) at Akron General Medical Center. In this role, you will manage the practice of professional nursing and delivery of nurse care while offering clinical supervision, maintaining quality outcomes and supervising all aspects of personnel management and development. Ultimately, your dedication and leadership help enhance the Cleveland Clinic experience for everyone, whether they are patients, visitors or fellow caregivers.   

We are looking for someone who demonstrates flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic clinical environment, with the ability to effectively support and promote change. This individual embraces new processes, responds positively to evolving patient and organizational needs and actively contributes to continuous improvement initiatives.
