About The Position

The Registered Nurse (RN) works in a 44-bed medical/surgical/oncology general care pediatrics unit at Mayo Eugenio Litta Children’s Hospital. The unit cares for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teens admitted for a wide range of needs, including trauma, acute and chronic illness, surgery, palliative care, and cytotoxic medication administration. Nursing care is delivered using a family-centered approach. Patient rooms are private and include a parent sleep area. The unit has a Child Life Program, activity rooms for infants/toddlers and school-aged children, and a teen lounge. After developing the relevant skills and experience, nursing staff may choose to rotate to the Pediatric Infusion Therapy Center.

The RN coordinates nursing care, including direct patient care, patient and family education, and transitions of care. Within Mayo Clinic’s Nursing Professional Practice Model and the ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, the RN plans, implements, evaluates, and communicates all phases of care for assigned patients. The RN provides leadership through precepting, formal and informal leadership, and quality-improvement efforts; delegates care based on staff skill and experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability, and available resources; and may participate in committees or projects. Some employees may be required to use a personal vehicle as part of their role.
