You’ll work alongside a collaborative, multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering exceptional, family-centered care to children with a wide range of surgical conditions.

What You’ll Do

• Assess and prepare patients: Perform comprehensive nursing assessments, obtain medical histories, identify allergies, review medications, and recognize special healthcare needs.
• Educate patients and families: Prepare children and their parents or caregivers for surgical procedures by providing clear, age-appropriate education and instructions before and after surgery.
• Provide emotional support: Help children and families navigate the surgical experience by addressing questions, anxiety, and concerns with compassion and reassurance.
• Coordinate follow-up care: Facilitate follow-up appointments and provide families with clear guidance about recovery, potential complications, and when to seek medical attention.
• Collaborate across specialties: Partner with surgeons, advanced practice providers, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to coordinate high-quality care.
• Care for diverse surgical populations: Support patients receiving care for a broad range of congenital and acquired conditions—from common diagnoses such as appendicitis and hernias to complex conditions including solid tumors and multiple congenital anomalies.
• Work across locations: Provide care at our Main Campus and satellite locations as needed.
