The Clinical Assistant (CA) assists patients and families by supporting personal hygiene and daily living needs. The CA provides comfort, transportation, and vital sign monitoring. In addition, the CA supports and assists nursing personnel and other providers in diagnostic procedures and technical treatments and functions as a member of the healthcare team. About the NICU: Our Level III NICU in Colorado Springs cares for a large volume of patients with more than 50 licensed beds in a free-standing Children's Hospital. Our NICU focuses their expertise by specializing in the care of a wide variety of neonatal patients ranging from extremely premature infants, critically ill term newborns, surgical patients, and everything in between. We are a full-service Children's Hospital with the necessary subspecialties to meet the unique needs of the patients we serve. As the premier Children's Hospital serving the Southern Colorado region we receive patients from facilities in Colorado Springs, Southern Colorado as well as neighboring states. Many of our patients are born close by at UC Health, our next-door hospital partner. Our unit has a sky bridge to their labor and delivery unit which serves as a wonderful partnership for the parents to come and see their baby while mom is still inpatient. We are primarily a clean NICU, meaning babies that come to us have usually never been home. However, when babies need our help, we are ready to do whatever it takes to provide them the best care. We will take babies who have been home for phototherapy, rule out sepsis, respiratory illnesses, and other needs for hospitalization under certain circumstances. Department: CSH NICU
