RN NICU PRN Days
About The Position
Pediatric Critical Care nursing is a deeper, more intimate calling. You care for children when they are at their most vulnerable. It requires holistic care, reaching beyond your patient’s bedside and illness to concerned parents and caregivers waiting for any and all news on their little one’s condition or recovery. You comfort fears and create hope. This complex, specialized nursing role embraces your decisiveness, preparation, understanding, and high-level critical thinking. Because you understand the unique physiological and psychological needs of your young patients, you’ve mastered not only the science of healing but the art of compassion. If this sounds like you, then you’re going to love it here. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you will bring to this critical nursing role.
