Barnes-Jewish Hospital is the largest hospital in Missouri and the adult teaching hospital for Washington University School of Medicine — a high-acuity academic setting in the heart of St. Louis's Central West End.

More than 1,250 beds on the Washington University Medical Center campus, among the largest hospitals in a multi-state region, with the breadth of specialty units that scale brings.

An American College of Surgeons–verified Level I trauma center, with an emergency department running about 80,000 visits a year.

Magnet-recognized for nursing — the first adult hospital in Missouri to earn ANCC Magnet status — so nurses step into an established professional-practice culture.

Specialty tracks RNs can build on: the Heart & Vascular Center, the Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Transplant Center, and Siteman Cancer Center, the only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Missouri and within 240 miles of St. Louis.

ICU, step-down, and med/surg work runs alongside a teaching program of more than 850 residents and fellows, so the clinical pace and the learning curve are both steep.

The Parkview Tower (opened 2018) houses the Women & Infants Center, and a rooftop helipad feeds the trauma and transplant services.

Several hospital corridors stretch across St. Louis, MO, a long-established clinical market on the Missouri side of the river. Meeting that regional demand calls for travelers to staff surgical suites and labor-and-delivery units regularly. Much of the patient flow runs through Barnes-Jewish Hospital and SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. Clayton, University City, and Maplewood offer handy places to live, and the Metro Link light rail simplifies cross-town trips to the medical centers, so many travelers skip the car.

Between the academic and community campuses, contracts turn over often enough to keep travelers booked. When the workday ends, the green space of Forest Park is an easy escape from the hospital.
