Children's Mercy KC

Benefits start day one for eligible roles. You will need seasonal influenza vaccination and proof of MMR, varicella, and Tdap immunity before you begin. If you are a new NNP, there is a comprehensive transition program with professional development classes and one-on-one mentorship inside and outside the department. Tuition assistance and an APRN Clinical Ladder are part of the growth path, and paid conference attendance is noted for NNPs. Eligible NNP candidates may also receive relocation support. Scheduling depends on the role: ED Critical Care Staff Nurse postings list full-time and part-time options across day, mid, and night shifts; CRNA roles have been posted with no weekday or weekend call and a $30,000 sign-on bonus. One staff-nurse posting we tracked sat at $33.43 an hour; another pediatric critical-care staff role has been estimated near $80,000 a year. U.S. News & World Report has recognized the hospital as a top pediatric hospital for eleven consecutive years, and the NICU ranked 14th in neonatology in 2022.
