Northwestern Medicine is hiring a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) to join our inpatient hospitalist team. This is a group of 7-9 CNMs who work at Prentice Women’s Hospital on labor and delivery, postpartum, and triage. Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women’s Hospital operates as a Level III (Tier Three) perinatal and neonatal intensive care facility and is the largest birthing center in Illinois. The expectation is that the CNM will have knowledge of and be able to respond to high-risk and high-acuity situations. This team of CNMs will primarily support the general function on labor and delivery, including support of first and second stages of labor, induction, and obstetrical emergencies. They collaborate with residents and on-call attending providers from Northwestern Medicine and private practices.
Shifts are scheduled for three 12-hour blocks per week. Coverage in this department is 24/7 and rotation into nights and weekends is expected. Work will be in person only. There is no outpatient component to this role. The role is 0.9 FTE.
The Certified Nurse Midwife reflects the mission, vision, and values of Northwestern Medicine, adheres to the organization’s Code of Ethics, Corporate Compliance Program and complies with all relevant policies, procedures, guidelines, and all regulatory and accreditation standards.
The APRN Certified Nurse Midwife is a licensed registered nurse (RN) and therefore can perform all functions that are within the scope of an RN License. In addition, the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse must have a current Advanced Practice Registered Nurse License and have earned a master’s or doctoral degree in a specialized area of nursing. The licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurse functions autonomously in a specialized area of nursing and collaborates with other health care professionals to provide direct care that is comprehensive, reflects advanced knowledge, clinical expertise and is evidenced based on current research and practice.
