Pediatric Registered Nurse Cardiac ICU

Registered Nurse (RN)

The Registered Nurse (RN) is a professional caregiver who assumes responsibility and accountability for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the care of patients. The staff RN utilizes the nursing process by applying technology, therapeutic intervention, evidence‑based practice, and coordination of care with other health team members.

We are a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the United States, providing specialized care for more than 1 million children in a 400,000‑square‑mile service area and beyond. Our mission is “The Child First and Always.” Full time, 36 hours a week, nights but variable (days and nights) through orientation.

August 31, 2026 start date.

• Assess:
  Perform appropriate assessment of physical, social, and psychological status (including cognitive, communicative, and developmental skills as appropriate). Seek and evaluate information acquired from the interdisciplinary team: patient, family, physician, non‑nursing disciplines, support staff, others.
• Plan:
  Use assessment information and critical‑thinking skills to collaboratively develop an individualized plan of care. Actively involve patient, family, team, and physician; develop education and prepare patients for further support needs once current episode outcomes are met (i.e., teaching, referrals, and follow‑up).
• Implement:
  Direct the interdisciplinary care team through delegation, coordination, and collaboration as appropriate. Provide or delegate care consistent with the plan of care, guidelines of care, and professional licensure provisions. Set priorities and coordinate and organize patient care delivery by effectively managing time, supplies, and resources.
• Evaluate:
  Evaluate patient response to interventions through review of goal achievement, clinical outcomes, patient, and family satisfaction. Revise the plan of care as indicated and reassess changes as appropriate.
• Professionalism:
  Promote the nursing profession; participate in the development of others. Integrate legal and ethical standards into practice, comply with regulatory standards, practice within scope of licensure, provide accurate and timely documentation, and understand legal implications of care delivery.
