At Children's, we know what it takes to really connect with kids,
we're looking for nurses who love a challenge.
Pediatric nurses have to be patient. They have to be understanding,
yet able to communicate effectively and honestly with a child and
their family about their illness and treatment. And every
Children's nurse must have the confidence to take a patient's care
into his or her own hands.
At Children's you'll work closely with each patient and their
family across a continuum of care - beginning with admission, when
you perform physical assessments and take a patient/family history
that covers all the vitals.
You'll prepare and carry out a plan of patient care. You'll work
with professionals from all Children's health care disciplines.
Together you will ensure your patients' progress every step of the
way. You will even make rounds with physicians, discussing your
patients' conditions and needs.
Professionally, you'll grow like never before.
The nursing practice environment at Children's is ideal for
developing your skills to the maximum, increasing your level of
responsibility and entering new specialty areas.
Our versatile career ladder, the Program for Professional
Advancement (PPA), enables you to move both vertically and
laterally across a wide range of clinical, educational and
management opportunities. Recently we restructured our nurses
compensation package to include:
Our recent achievement of Magnet status reflects what we've known
all along: That our nurses are something very special - that their
vision, talents, dedication and leadership define a truly
exceptional practice environment. We invite you to learn more about
our Magnet environment, accomplished by approximately 6% of the
nation's hospitals, and even fewer pediatric centers.
We are also a Beacon Award winner, recognized for our outstanding
CICU and PICU environments. In fact, our Pediatric Cardiac
Intensive Care Unit is the first in the country to be designated a
Beacon Award winner AND our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is the
first in the Northeast region to receive the Beacon
designation!
