Registered Nurse - AMB RN Float; FTE, day shift

Position Overview

The ambulatory float pool provides coverage and support for the Ambulatory Specialty departments within Seattle Children’s Hospital across multiple sites of care to ensure adequate staffing to meet the needs of our patients and families. Float nurses partner with interdisciplinary care teams consisting of, but not limited to, MDs, PAs, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, social workers, nutritionists, and specialty-based technicians in each department.

Our nursing team supports both direct patient care and back office or between clinic management. Direct patient care includes complex care coordination, preoperative, post-operative and diagnosis specific teaching and family support. Our back-office roles focus on telephone triage and “after-visit” care coordination. Float nurses are expected to develop a broad knowledge base in ambulatory pediatric nursing but do focus on a smaller group of subspecialties for their day-to-day work.
