Registered Nurse (RN), IBCLC, Telehealth Lactation

About SimpliFed

SimpliFed is a virtual maternal health company. We start with feeding support (lactation care, pumping and supply help, and prescribing for breast pumps and related needs) and build from there into care across pregnancy and postpartum, including postpartum mood screening and connection to the right next level of care. Our clinicians see families by video across the U.S., working alongside health plans, health systems, and breast pump suppliers.

We believe the key to every happy, healthy baby is a happy, healthy parent.

How we think about feeding

We help families feed their babies in whatever way works for them: nursing, exclusive pumping, formula, combination feeding, donor milk, supplementing, or weaning. Our job is to give parents accurate information and real support for their goals, not to judge their choices. A confident, supported parent and a fed, growing baby are the outcomes we care about.

We hire clinicians who share this view and show it in how they talk with families.

The role

You'll bring nursing assessment and board-certified lactation expertise to video visits with new and expecting parents. This role does not include prescribing. You'll work closely with our nurse practitioners, who handle breast pump orders and medications. Some health plans and states call for a licensed nurse on lactation visits, so RN/IBCLCs are central to how we serve those families.

What you'll do

• Run prenatal and postpartum video visits that pair a nursing assessment of parent and baby with lactation care: latch and positioning, milk supply, pumping, supplementing, bottle feeding, formula transitions, and weaning.
• Triage red flags (infant weight and hydration, infection, postpartum mood, other maternal and infant warning signs) and escalate or refer per SimpliFed protocols.
• Build practical care plans around each family's own feeding goals.
• Hand off to our NP/APP team for anything needing a prescription or breast pump order.
• Document every visit clearly and on time in our EHR.
• Follow families across multiple visits.

Required

• Active, unrestricted RN license, valid in the state where each patient is located (a multistate compact license or individual state licenses).
• Current IBCLC certification (IBLCE), in good standing.
• Available at least 15 hours a week. 20+ hours preferred.
• A private, quiet space for video visits, reliable high-speed internet, and a computer with a camera that meets our telehealth platform requirements.

Preferred

• The same days and times each week (fixed weekly blocks).
• A multistate RN license under the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC).
• An RN license in Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland, or Illinois.
• Background in postpartum, mother-baby, labor and delivery, NICU, or pediatrics.
• Evening or weekend availability. We see families 8am to 10pm ET.
• An individual NPI and an active CAQH profile; current enrollment with major health plans.
• Bilingual in Spanish and English (or another language our families speak).
• Telehealth experience.

Where we're hiring

RN license

Why it matters

Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland

Our priority states for RN-led lactation visits. All four are compact states, so a multistate license covers them.

Illinois

A priority state that is not in the compact. It needs its own Illinois RN license.

Multistate (NLC) license, any home state

Lets you see families in most states quickly.

Note: a multistate license can only be issued by the compact state you live in. California, New York, Illinois, and several other states are not in the compact and require their own RN license.

Schedule and commitment

We're building a team of fewer, more committed clinicians rather than a large panel of low-hour contractors. It gets families seen faster and gives you a steadier caseload. We look for at least 15 hours a week of availability. Clinicians who can offer the same days and times each week, and more hours, get priority scheduling and more volume.

Getting started

After you accept an offer, you'll start an onboarding period: credentialing, systems setup, and training. Our aim is to have you seeing families as soon as possible, though please note that credentialing can take between 30 and 90 days.

Credentialing with licensing boards and health plans can take 30 to 90 days from your hire date to delivering care, depending on your licenses and which health plans you'll see patients under. We'll tell you up front what to expect for your situation and start the paperwork the day you accept.
