Pediatric RN

Alright, let's talk about this one. It's for a Pediatric RN position at Crittenton Children's Center in Kansas City, MO, which is part of the Saint Luke's system. This isn't your standard hospital floor job. You'd be working on their behavioral health unit, caring for kids and adolescents. The campus itself is on 96 acres near Longview Lake; it's a quiet, private place designed to help with healing. They've been doing this work for over 120 years.

The Work

You're using the nursing process from start to finish. That means you're coordinating the plan of care for your group of patients, and you're the go to person for patient education, assessment, and documentation.

• You'll delegate tasks to other clinical staff, making sure it fits their scope and competencies.
• Admission orders get entered as directed by the provider.
• Managing expired samples is part of the routine.
• Sometimes you might cover Medical Assistant or LPN duties if needed.

The environment requires you to work well with a team, but also to be confident working autonomously. A professional demeanor and solid customer service skills are non negotiable here; you're dealing with families during some really tough times.

Schedule & Program

This is a part time day shift role, but it has a specific structure. It's for their Weekend Work Program.

• You work 12 hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday.
• That's 24 hours of work, but you get paid for 36 hours.

What You Need to Bring

The requirements are pretty specific. They aren't looking for decades of experience, but they do need the right credentials and training.

• A Missouri Registered Nurse license is required.
• You need Mandt Certification (it can be from various providers).
• The minimum education is an Associate Degree in Nursing.
• They list applicable experience as "Less than 1 year," so new grads or those newer to the field are eligible.
