Open position
We are currently hiring experienced Registered Nurses to provide professional, overnight in-home postpartum care for newborns and their families.
NightOwl Nursing was founded on the belief that professional postpartum care should be accessible to all families as they transition into parenthood. Our role is to bridge the gap by providing evidence-based education, clinical care, and emotional support in the home.
Qualifications
Active RN license in good standing. Canadian-trained with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (or equivalent).
Experience in postpartum care, obstetrics, LDRP (Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum), public health, or newborn care.
Strong clinical judgment, assessment skills, and excellent communication abilities.

Clinical judgment and guidance on escalating care. Healthcare navigation support. Collaborative care planning with your family. 24/7 text and email support, plus video calls for up to two weeks following the final shift.
Who is a good fit?
