Do you envision finding a meaningful role with an inclusive and compassionate team? At Children's Mercy, we believe in making a difference in the lives of all children and shining a light of hope to the patients and families we serve. Our employees make the difference, which is why we have been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a top pediatric hospital for eleven consecutive years.

Children's Mercy is in the heart of Kansas City – a metro abounding in cultural experiences, vibrant communities 따험 and thriving businesses. This is where our patients and families live, work and play. This is a community that has embraced our hospital and we strive to say thanks by giving back.

Children’s Mercy has the only Level I pediatric trauma center in the region – our Adele Hall campus ED has 39 beds, with staffing support from 150 nurses and technicians, 40 APRNs, and over 40 physicians. We treat over 65,000 patients per year. Our 39 exam rooms include 4 trauma rooms; 3 orthopedic rooms; 3 major medical rooms; 4 triage rooms;

and a nurse‑practitioner‑led minor care area with 10 beds and a separate waiting room for those patients. We have a family room and private waiting room to offer privacy to families at difficult times. We have three zones (Red, Yellow, and Green) and nurses areল্লেখ in 4‑hour blocks, typically rotating to zones once or twice in their shift.

Critical‑care registered nurses provide illness management and health promotion for patients and families who require intensive care. Critical‑care registered staff nurses utilize the nursing process and knowledge of scientific principles to provide safe, high‑quality, comprehensive, and age‑appropriate nursing care for their assigned patients in the intensive care areas of the hospital. Critical‑care registered staff nurses provide patient and family education and advocate for their needs, while coordinating patient care with non‑professional personnel as necessary.
