NICU
Where Careers and Community Come Full Circle
At Huntington Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), healthcare is deeply personal. Our unit operates with an extraordinary sense of connection—many of our team members choose to build their decades-long careers within these same walls, creating a tight-knit family culture where nurses stay for the long haul. This unique environment means that even when professionals leave to explore travel assignments or out-of-state opportunities, they frequently return home to Huntington, drawn back by a deeply relational environment of stability and genuine belonging.
When you join our Level 3 NICU team, you enter a highly collaborative, supportive, and non-punitive environment. Guided by a leadership style rooted in transparency and process-driven "just culture," we empower our nurses to spearhead clinical initiatives, run transport teams, and champion professional growth. Here, you aren't just taking a job; you are becoming part of a close-knit legacy where your voice is valued, physician-nurse relationships are collaborative, and your impact is supported by an incredibly generous local community.
"The culture here is very relational, and I think people stay because of that. In my time here, I have so many people call and want to come back." — Jean M., clinical manager
An Enduring "Family" Culture
Benefit from exceptional stability and incredible tenure, with bedside nurses staying 30 to 45 years. Nurses who leave the organization to travel or try larger conglomerates frequently choose to return because they miss the deep emotional connection, open transparency, and authentic family feel unique to our unit.
Autonomous, High-Level Clinical Impact
Work in a community-based Level 3 unit that handles high-acuity cases equivalent to major children's hospitals, but without residents or interns taking away your hands-on experience. Our nurses run transport teams, place PICC lines, and have standard orders to place umbilical lines and chest tubes.
Relational Support & Mutual Care
Transition smoothly into an environment where rooms with multiple beds mean you always have peers right next to you for immediate, hands-on support. We prioritize the wellness of our staff with robust debriefings, an amazing employee wellness program, spiritual care, and phenomenal social workers to help navigate the intense highs and lows of neonatology.
